Description
A cozy bowl of Rustic Hungarian Mushroom Soup that embodies comfort and warmth, rich with earthy flavors and a touch of paprika.
Ingredients
Scale
- 3 tablespoons butter
- 2 cups chopped onions
- 1 pound fresh mushrooms, sliced
- 2 teaspoons dried dill weed
- 1 tablespoon Hungarian paprika
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce or liquid aminos
- 2 cups chicken or vegetable broth
- 1 cup milk or plain almond milk
- 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- Ground black pepper to taste
- 2 teaspoons lemon juice
- 1/2 cup sour cream or Greek yogurt
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
Instructions
- Sauté the aromatics: In a large pot, melt the butter over medium heat. Once it’s melted and bubbling, add the chopped onions. Sauté for about 5-7 minutes until they’re soft and translucent.
- Add the mushrooms: Once the onions are starting to glisten, throw in the sliced mushrooms. Stir well and allow them to sauté for about 8-10 minutes until they’re soft and slightly browned.
- Season the soup: Sprinkle in the dried dill and paprika, stirring to coat the mushrooms evenly.
- Incorporate liquid ingredients: Drench the mushroom mixture with soy sauce, stir for about a minute, then pour in the broth and bring to a gentle simmer. Let it bubble for about 10 minutes.
- Thicken the soup: In a small bowl, mix the flour with a bit of milk to create a slurry. Slowly add it to the soup while stirring. Let it simmer for about 5 minutes until it thickens.
- Add creaminess: Pour in the remaining milk and stir in the lemon juice. Continue stirring and simmering for another 5-7 minutes.
- Season to taste: At this stage, taste your soup and add black pepper and additional lemon juice as needed.
- Finish with sour cream and parsley: Turn off the heat, stir in the sour cream until blended, and garnish with fresh parsley before serving.
Notes
Serve with crusty bread or a warm baguette. For added flavor, drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle smoked paprika on top.
