Ingredients

• 4 tablespoons Butter
• 1 medium Onion, finely chopped
• 1 pound Button mushrooms, sliced
• 3 tablespoons All-purpose flour
• 2 teaspoons Paprika
• 4 cups Vegetable broth
• 1 cup Milk
• 1 cup Sour cream
• 2 tablespoons Soy sauce
• 1 tablespoon Dill, dried or fresh (chopped)
• 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper, freshly ground
• 2 tablespoons Parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

In a large pot or Dutch oven, melt the butter over medium heat.

Step 2

Add the finely chopped onion and sauté for 5 minutes, or until softened.

Step 3

Stir in the sliced mushrooms and cook for another 8-10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the mushrooms release their liquid and begin to brown slightly.

Step 4

Sprinkle the flour and paprika over the mushrooms and stir well to combine. Cook for 1-2 minutes to remove the raw taste of the flour.

Step 5

Gradually pour in the vegetable broth, stirring constantly to avoid lumps. Bring the mixture to a simmer and let it cook for 10 minutes to thicken slightly.

Step 6

Reduce the heat to low and add the milk. Stir gently and allow the soup to heat through without boiling.

Step 7

In a small bowl, whisk the sour cream and soy sauce together. Gradually whisk this mixture into the soup until fully incorporated.

Step 8

Stir in the dried or fresh dill, lemon juice, salt, and black pepper. Taste and adjust seasoning as desired.

Step 9

Let the soup cook on low for an additional 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.

Step 10

Ladle the soup into bowls and garnish with chopped parsley before serving.
