For decoration
Add the soup to the bowls and create circles with the soured cream starting with a solid circle in the centre so it should look like a bullseye. I used a piping bag to get an even, smooth circle. Then drag a toothpick or knife from the centre out to the edge of the bowl to create the spider web effect.
