Step-by-Step Instructions for Creamy Hungarian Mushroom Soup
- In a large pot, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium heat. Add 1½ pounds of sliced mixed mushrooms and 2 cups of diced yellow onions. Stir frequently until the mushrooms soften and shrink, about 15 minutes.
- Remove the sautéed mushroom and onion mixture from the pot. In the same pot, melt 3 tablespoons of unsalted butter over medium heat. Whisk in ¼ cup of all-purpose flour, 4 teaspoons of sweet paprika, and 1 tablespoon of fresh dill. Cook the roux for about 1 minute.
- Pour in ½ cup of dry white wine, stirring to deglaze the pot. Cook for about 2 minutes until mostly evaporated.
- Gradually pour in 3 cups of low-sodium chicken or vegetable broth, whisking continuously. Bring to a gentle simmer, allowing it to thicken slightly, which should take about 5 minutes.
- Stir back in the reserved mushroom and onion mixture along with 2 tablespoons of low-sodium soy sauce. Let everything simmer together for about 5 more minutes.
- Lower the heat and whisk in 1½ cups of whole milk and ¾ cup of sour cream. Simmer gently for 3–5 minutes to ensure everything is heated through.
- Remove from heat and stir in 2 tablespoons of white wine or sherry vinegar. Adjust seasoning as necessary, and serve hot, garnished with chopped fresh parsley.
