Hungarian Mushroom Soup
Hungarian Mushroom Soup features fresh mushrooms sautéed with onions and thickened with flour, simmered with broth, milk, and seasoned with paprika and dill. Stirred in sour cream adds creaminess and a slight tang. The soup is warmed gently before serving and garnished with fresh parsley and lemon juice, providing a balanced earthy and bright flavor profile.
Ingredients
- 4 Tablespoons butter
- 2 cups onion chopped
- 1 pound mushrooms sliced, fresh
- 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 2 cups chicken broth (or vegetable broth)
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce
- 2 teaspoons paprika
- 2 teaspoons dill weed (dried)
- 1 cup milk whole
- ¼ cup sour cream
- 2 Tablespoons parsley diced, fresh
- 2 teaspoons lemon juice
- ground black pepper to taste
Instructions
- Melt the butter in a large pot or dutch oven over medium heat. Add in the onions cook and stir until softened, about 5 minutes. Add mushrooms in and sauté for 5 more minutes until the mushrooms are nice and golden brown, but not crispy. Sprinkle the flour over the mushroom mixture and stir well to coat.
- Stir in the chicken or vegetable broth, soy sauce, paprika, and dill; reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 15 minutes until it thickens.
- Add milk, cover and simmer on low heat for 5 more minutes, stirring occasionally.
- Add in the sour cream, parsley, and lemon juice, stir gently over low heat until warmed through, about 3 to 5 minutes. Add salt and pepper to taste.
- Garnish with fresh chopped parsley and serve immediately.
Notes
- For a creamier soup, use a thicker cream instead of milk.
- Adjust sour cream amount to increase tanginess if desired.
