Method
 

Preparation Steps
  1. In a large pot, melt 2 tablespoons of butter over medium heat. Add 1 cup of chopped onions and sauté for about 5 minutes, until the onions become translucent and aromatic.
  2. Next, incorporate 12 ounces of sliced fresh mushrooms into the pot. Continue to sauté for another 5 minutes, stirring frequently, until the mushrooms are lightly browned.
  3. Now, add 1 tablespoon of dried dill weed, 2 tablespoons of Hungarian paprika, and 2 tablespoons of soy sauce. Pour in 4 cups of chicken or vegetable broth, lower the heat, and cover. Let it simmer for 15 minutes.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together 1 cup of milk and 1/4 cup of all-purpose flour until smooth. Gradually pour this mixture into the soup, stirring well. Let the soup simmer uncovered for an additional 15 minutes.
  5. Stir in freshly ground black pepper to taste and 1 tablespoon of fresh lemon juice. Gently fold in 1/2 cup of sour cream or plant-based yogurt and heat for about 5 minutes.
  6. To serve, garnish each bowl with a dollop of sour cream and a sprinkle of chopped fresh parsley.
