Description

A rich and flavorful soup combining earthy mushrooms, warm paprika, and delightful creaminess, perfect for chilly evenings.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 ½ pounds mixed mushrooms, trimmed and sliced into ¼-inch pieces
  • 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, to taste
  • ½ cup dry white wine
  • 3 cups low-sodium chicken or vegetable broth
  • 2 tablespoons low-sodium soy sauce
  • 1 ½ cups whole milk
  • ¾ cup sour cream
  • 2 tablespoons white wine vinegar or sherry vinegar
  • ½ cup chopped fresh parsley for garnishing

Instructions

  1. In a large pot or Dutch oven, heat the olive oil over medium heat.
  2. Add the sliced mushrooms and diced onions. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the onions become translucent and the mushrooms shrink in size, approximately 15 minutes.
  3. Transfer the cooked mushrooms and onions to a bowl and set aside.
  4. In the now-empty pot, add the unsalted butter and let it melt over medium heat. Whisk in the flour, sweet paprika, dill, salt, and pepper. Cook this mixture for 1 minute while whisking constantly to form a roux.
  5. Pour in the dry white wine and whisk until it has mostly evaporated.
  6. Gradually whisk in the broth, ensuring the flour mixture dissolves completely. Stir in the soy sauce and the reserved mushroom mixture.
  7. Bring the soup to a gentle simmer and allow it to cook for about 5 minutes until the liquid has reduced by half.
  8. Stir in the milk and sour cream, bringing the soup back to a simmer, then add the vinegar.
  9. Remove from heat, add chopped fresh parsley, and season with additional pepper to taste.

Notes

Serve hot, garnished with extra parsley and a drizzle of olive oil. Pair with crusty bread or a side salad. Leftovers can be stored in the fridge for 3-4 days or frozen for up to 3 months.
