Ingredients

  • 4 tablespoons (56 g) unsalted butter
  • 1 large yellow onion diced
  • 1 ¼ pounds (570 g) cremini mushrooms sliced
  • 3 cups (720 ml) vegetable stock
  • 2 tablespoons (30 ml) soy sauce
  • 1 cup (240 ml) whole milk
  • 3 tablespoons (22 g) all purpose flour or GF 1:1 flour
  • 1 tablespoon paprika use hungarian paprika if you have it
  • 1 tablespoon chopped fresh dill or 2 teaspoons dried dill
  • 1 teaspoon fresh thyme
  • ½ cup (125 g) sour cream
  • 2 teaspoons (30 ml) lemon juice
  • 2 teaspoons fresh chopped parsley

Instructions

  • In a large Dutch oven, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the onions and sauté for 3 minutes until they become translucent.
  • Add the mushrooms and cook for 8 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they are soft.
  • Pour in the vegetable stock and soy sauce. Add the paprika, dill, and thyme. Stir to combine. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat and let it simmer for 10 minutes, allowing the soup to reduce slightly.
  • In a small bowl, whisk the flour and milk together until smooth (I add it at 2 stages, to avoid any clumps). Gradually add this mixture to the soup, stirring continuously. Cook for another 10 minutes until the soup thickens.
  • Reduce the heat to low. Stir in the sour cream and lemon juice, then remove from heat immediately.
  • Ladle the soup into bowls. Garnish each serving with a dollop of sour cream and a sprinkle of chopped parsley.

Notes

  • Make this recipe gluten-free by thickening it using gluten-free 1:1 style flour. I tested it, and it works perfectly!
  • Washing mushrooms: Clean the mushrooms under running water and then pat them dry with paper towels. You don't want to soak them in water because mushrooms are very absorbent.
  • Storage: Keep leftover soup in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days or freeze for up to 1 month.
