Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. In a large pot over medium heat, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil. Add mixed mushrooms and diced yellow onions. Sauté for about 15 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  2. Once ready, add unsalted butter to the pot. Allow it to melt, then whisk in flour, paprika, dill, salt, and pepper. Cook for 1 minute, stirring constantly.
  3. Pour in dry white wine, scraping the bottom of the pot to release any browned bits. Allow to simmer for 2-3 minutes.
  4. Gradually whisk in low-sodium broth and soy sauce, ensuring no lumps remain. Bring to a gentle simmer for about 5 minutes.
  5. Reduce heat to low, then whisk in milk and sour cream until smooth. Stir occasionally and avoid boiling.
  6. Stir in vinegar and adjust seasoning. Sprinkle in chopped fresh parsley before serving.
