Preparation

  • Melt the butter in a large pot over medium heat.
  • Add the chopped onions and sauté for 5 minutes until they become soft.
  • Next, add the sliced mushrooms and sauté for an additional 5 minutes.
  • Stir in the dried dill, Hungarian paprika, soy sauce (or liquid aminos), and the broth.
  • Reduce the heat to low, cover, and let it simmer for 15 minutes.
  • In a separate bowl, whisk together the milk and flour until smooth.
  • Pour this mixture into the soup and stir well. Cover again and simmer for another 15 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  • Finally, stir in the ground black pepper, lemon juice, and sour cream or Greek yogurt. Mix everything together and heat over low for about 5 minutes, being careful not to boil.

Notes

This soup is best served hot with crusty bread. Offers extra sour cream or yogurt on the side for a creamier touch. For added richness, consider using a mix of different mushrooms. Adjust the lemon juice to taste, and add cayenne pepper for a spicier kick. This recipe can be made vegetarian by using vegetable broth.
