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
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Chopped fresh parsley for garnish
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).
- Add Mushrooms: Stir in the sliced mushrooms and cook until they release their moisture and become tender (about 5-7 minutes).
- Add Broth and Spices: Pour in the broth, then add paprika, thyme, salt, and pepper. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 15 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.
- Serve: Ladle the soup into bowls and garnish with chopped parsley. Enjoy hot.
