Ingredients:
4 Tbsp unsalted butter
1 medium onion, finely chopped
1 lb cremini mushrooms, sliced (or baby bella/portobello)
2 Tbsp all-purpose flour
1 Tbsp paprika (Hungarian or sweet)
3 cups chicken broth (or vegetable broth for vegetarian option)
1 cup milk
1 Tbsp tamari (or low-sodium soy sauce)
½ cup sour cream
1 Tbsp fresh lemon juice
3 Tbsp fresh parsley, chopped
2 Tbsp fresh dill, chopped
1 Tbsp fresh thyme, chopped
Fine salt, black pepper, and a pinch of chili pepper, to taste
Directions:
In a large pot, melt butter over medium heat. Add chopped onion and sauté until translucent (about 5 minutes).
Add mushrooms and cook until tender and golden brown, about 8–10 minutes, releasing their natural juices.
Sprinkle in flour and paprika, stirring constantly. Cook for 2 minutes to eliminate raw flour taste.
Slowly pour in the chicken broth while stirring to avoid lumps. Bring to a gentle simmer and cook for 10 minutes.
Stir in milk, tamari, sour cream, and lemon juice. Season with salt, black pepper, and a pinch of chili pepper.
Blend until smooth using an immersion blender (or a regular blender in batches). Stir in the fresh herbs and heat through for another 2–3 minutes.
Ladle into bowls, garnish with extra herbs, and enjoy your creamy mushroom soup with fresh herbs!
