  • Yield: 4-6 servings
  • Diet: Vegetarian

Ingredients

  • 1/4 cup butter
  • 1 pound cremini mushrooms, sliced
  • 1 medium yellow onion, finely chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, finely chopped
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
  • 1/2 tablespoon paprika
  • 1/2 tablespoon dried dill
  • 1 teaspoon fresh thyme, finely chopped
  • 2 cups chicken broth
  • 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup milk
  • 1/4 cup sour cream
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice (or to taste)
  • 1 tablespoon fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Melt butter in a large pot or 4 quart Dutch oven over medium-high heat and melt until it starts to bubble, about 1 minute. Add mushrooms and cook without turning for 3-5 minutes.
  2. Add onion and garlic and season with salt and pepper. Cook until the mushrooms are golden brown, about 3-5 minutes. Stir in paprika, dill and thyme.
  3. Add chicken broth and mix well. Bring to a boil.
  4. In a small mixing bowl, whisk together flour and milk. Add the milk mixture into the soup. Stir well and bring it to a simmer over medium heat. Simmer until the soup starts to thicken, about 5 minutes.
  5. Stir in sour cream and lemon juice until evenly combined.

  6. Garnish with parsley and serve with biscuits, if desired.

Notes

How to store: Allow the leftover soup to cool completely in the fridge, then store it in an airtight container for 3-4 days.

How to reheat: Either microwave the leftovers in a bowl or warm them in a small pot on the stove until fully heated.

How to freeze: Place the chilled soup in freezer-safe containers and freeze for 2-3 months. However, the texture might not be quite as smooth after freezing and thawing.
