Hungarian Mushroom Soup
Rich, creamy, and full of earthy flavor — Hungarian Mushroom Soup is a cozy, comforting dish made with tender mushrooms, fresh dill, and a hint of paprika. It’s the kind of soup that warms you from the inside out and tastes even better the next day.
Ingredients
4 tablespoons butter
1 medium onion, finely chopped
1 lb (450 g) mushrooms, sliced (white button or cremini)
2 teaspoons dried dill w**d (or 1 tablespoon fresh dill)
1 tablespoon Hungarian paprika (sweet paprika preferred)
1 tablespoon soy sauce
2 cups chicken or vegetable broth
1 cup milk
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
½ cup sour cream
2 teaspoons lemon juice
Salt and black pepper, to taste
Fresh parsley or dill, for garnish
Instructions
1. In a large pot, melt butter over medium heat. Add onions and cook until soft and translucent.
2. Add the sliced mushrooms and cook for about 8–10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they release their liquid and begin to brown.
3. Stir in dill, paprika, soy sauce, and broth. Bring to a simmer, then reduce heat to low and cook for 10 minutes.
4. In a small bowl, whisk flour into milk until smooth. Slowly pour this mixture into the soup while stirring constantly. Continue to cook until the soup thickens slightly, about 5 minutes.
5. Remove from heat. Stir in sour cream and lemon juice until well combined. Taste and adjust seasoning with salt and pepper.
6. Serve warm, garnished with fresh parsley or dill.
Creamy, tangy, and perfectly seasoned — this Hungarian Mushroom Soup is comfort in a bowl and pairs beautifully with crusty bread or a light salad.
