Ingredients
- 1 pound fresh mushrooms, sliced
- 1 medium onion, chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 4 cups vegetable or chicken broth
- 1 cup sour cream
- 2 tablespoons flour
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme

Instructions
- Sauté Vegetables: In a large pot, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and garlic, and sauté until translucent (about 3-4 minutes).

- Thicken the Soup: In a small bowl, mix the flour with a bit of water to create a slurry. Stir this into the soup and cook for an additional 5 minutes until slightly thickened.
- Finish with Sour Cream: Remove the pot from heat and stir in the sour cream until well combined. Adjust seasoning if necessary.
