Travel through cooking with this Creamy Hungarian Mushroom Soup. This easy-to-prepare soup is so flavorful and so creamy. Mushrooms, sautéed in butter with onions and garlic, a splash of soy sauce, a little mushroom powder, and high-quality sweet paprika make this dish full of umami flavor.
Sweet paprika is one of the essential ingredients that make this soup Hungarian. It is a staple in Hungarian cuisine, and respectively, Hungarian paprika is considered the world’s best for its taste and flavor. So make sure you choose real Hungarian sweet paprika for this soup. I prefer to use chicken stock in this recipe, but you may want to swap vegetable stock if you like to keep it vegetarian. And if you crave a hefty meal, serve it with plenty of toasted bread slices, rubbed with a garlic clove.
To make the Creamy Hungarian Mushroom Soup, you will need the following ingredients:
In a Dutch oven over medium heat, melt 4 tablespoons butter. Add 1½ cups chopped white onions, 1 pound sliced mushrooms and cook, stirring, for 5 minutes.
Add 2 teaspoons dried dill weed, 1 teaspoon dried thyme, and 1 tablespoon sweet paprika. Cook, stirring often, for 7-10 minutes more.
30 seconds before the mushrooms are cooked, add 2 cloves minced garlic and
1 teaspoon dried mushroom powder if using.
Slowly add in 2½ cups chicken or vegetable stock, 2 tablespoons low-sodium soy sauce, and 1 tablespoon lemon juice. Stir and scrape up any browned bits from the bottom. Bring to a simmer and cook for 5 minutes.
Meanwhile, combine 1 cup half-and-half or whole milk and 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour and whisk until smooth.
Pour the milk mixture into the soup, stir and cook for 8-10 minutes or until thickened, stirring occasionally.
Remove the soup from the heat and add in slowly while stirring, ⅓ cup sour cream or crème fraîche.
Sprinkle with chopped parsley before serving and enjoy!
