Ingredients
2 tablespoons butter
1 large onion, chopped
1 pound cremini or button mushrooms, sliced
2 teaspoons Hungarian paprika
1 teaspoon dried dill
1 tablespoon soy sauce
2 cups vegetable or chicken broth
1 cup whole milk or half-and-half
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
½ cup sour cream
2 tablespoons lemon juice
Salt and pepper to taste
2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
Instructions
- In a large pot, melt butter over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and sauté until translucent, about 5 minutes.
- Add the sliced mushrooms and cook for 8-10 minutes, or until the mushrooms release their juices.
- Stir in the paprika, dried dill, and soy sauce, and cook for another minute.
- Pour in the broth, and bring the mixture to a simmer. Cover and cook for 10 minutes.
- In a small bowl, whisk flour into the milk until smooth, then gradually stir it into the soup. Simmer for another 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the soup slightly thickens.
- Reduce the heat to low and stir in the sour cream and lemon juice. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Remove the soup from heat, garnish with fresh parsley, and serve warm with crusty bread.
Notes
For a richer flavor, substitute heavy cream for whole milk or half-and-half.
You can use different mushroom varieties, like shiitake or portobello, for a unique flavor profile.
For a vegan version, swap the sour cream with a plant-based alternative and use vegetable broth.
Add heat with red pepper flakes or cayenne pepper for a spicy kick.
