(Scroll below to the printable recipe card for details and measurements.)
- Mushrooms – Choose fresh mushrooms that are not too soft. (See note below.)
- Chopped onions – For aromatics and flavor.
- Unsalted butter – Used to sauté the vegetables.
- Herbs & seasonings – Dried dill weed, Hungarian sweet paprika, chopped parsley, salt & pepper, and a pinch of cayenne give this mushroom soup layers of flavor.
- Soy sauce – Gives a hint of unexpected umami flavor. I recommend using low sodium.
- Vegetable broth – This is the base of the soup, which gives it a rich flavor and keeps the dish meatless.
- Sour cream – Helps make this soup extra creamy with a slight tangy taste.
- Milk – Adds to the luscious texture.
- Lemon juice – Adds a little zing and brightness to the soup.
- Cornstarch – Thickens the broth to a creamy consistency.
- Garnishes – Sautéed mushrooms, fresh parsley, and a dollop of sour cream are wonderful added to the soup just before serving.
