Description

A creamy, cozy, full-flavored mushroom soup featuring paprika, dill and sour cream. Delicious with a chunk of crusty baguette!


Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 ½ pounds mixed mushrooms, trimmed and sliced ¼-inch thick
  • 2 cups diced yellow onions
  • 3 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • ¼ cup all-purpose flour
  • 4 teaspoons sweet mild paprika
  • 1 tablespoon chopped fresh dill, or 2 teaspoons dried dill
  • kosher salt and cracked black pepper
  • ½ cup vegetable broth
  • 3 cups low-sodium chicken broth or vegetable broth
  • 2 tablespoons low-sodium soy sauce
  • 1 ½ cups whole milk
  • ¾ cup sour cream
  • 2 tablespoons lemon juice
  • ½ cup chopped fresh parsley

Instructions

  1. Cook Mushrooms: Heat oil in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium. Add mushrooms and onions and cook, stirring occasionally, until onions are translucent and mushrooms have shrunk in size by half, about 15 minutes.
  2. Reserve: Transfer onions and mushrooms to a bowl.
  3. Make Roux: Add butter to now empty pot and melt over medium heat. Whisk in flour, paprika, dill, 1 teaspoon salt, and 1 teaspoon pepper; cook, whisking constantly, 1 minute. Deglaze pan with vegetable broth, whisking, until evaporated.
  4. Simmer: Whisk broth in by increments, allowing flour mixture to adequately dissolve into broth before adding more. Stir in soy sauce and reserved mushroom mixture. Bring soup to a simmer and cook until liquid has reduced by half, about 5 minutes.
  5. Finish: Whisk in milk and sour cream, bring soup back to a simmer then stir in lemon juice. Off heat, add parsley and season with pepper to taste.

Notes

For a gluten-free version, substitute the all-purpose flour with sorghum flour or a 1:1 gluten-free flour blend. To ensure a smooth consistency, whisk cold sour cream with a bit of milk before adding it to the pot.
