A rich and creamy soup featuring earthy mushrooms, tangy sour cream, and smoky Hungarian paprika, perfect for cozy dinners or impressing guests.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 1 medium yellow onion, diced
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 pound sliced mushrooms (button, cremini, or mixed wild mushrooms)
  • 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • 4 cups low-sodium chicken or vegetable broth
  • 2 teaspoons Hungarian paprika
  • 1 teaspoon dried dill
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 cup sour cream
  • Lemon juice (optional)

Instructions

  1. In a large pot, melt 2 tablespoons of butter over medium heat. Add 1 diced medium onion and sauté until translucent, about 5 minutes.
  2. Add 2 cloves of minced garlic and cook for another minute, stirring continuously to prevent burning.
  3. Stir in 1 pound of sliced mushrooms. Cook for 7-10 minutes, or until the mushrooms release their moisture and begin to brown.
  4. Sprinkle 2 tablespoons of flour over the mushroom mixture and stir well to coat. Cook for 2 minutes to eliminate the raw flour taste.
  5. Gradually pour in 4 cups of chicken or vegetable broth, stirring constantly to prevent lumps. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer.
  6. Add 2 teaspoons of Hungarian paprika, 1 teaspoon of dried dill, and a pinch of salt and pepper. Stir well and let the soup simmer for about 20 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld.
  7. Reduce the heat to low and stir in 1 cup of sour cream. Mix until fully incorporated and the soup is creamy. If desired, add a squeeze of lemon juice for brightness.
  8. Taste and adjust the seasoning as needed. If the soup is too thick, add a bit more broth to thin it out.
  9. Serve hot, garnished with extra fresh dill or a sprinkle of paprika for color.

Notes

[‘Take your time sautéing the mushrooms until golden brown for deep flavor.’, ‘Use Hungarian paprika for authentic flavor; smoked paprika is a good substitute.’, ‘Stir sour cream gently at the end and avoid boiling the soup after adding it to prevent curdling.’, ‘Taste and adjust seasoning before serving.’, ‘Add extra broth if the soup is too thick.’]
