Rich and creamy, this Hungarian Mushroom Soup is loaded with flavors ranging from Hungarian sweet paprika to dill weed and even a splash of lemon. It’s a comforting vegetarian soup that’s perfect for the cooler months.
We like to enjoy a bowl of this soup with buttery popovers or slice of crusty dutch oven bread to mop up the broth!
Hungarian Mushroom Soup is a creamy mushroom soup that’s loaded with flavor, most of which comes from the Hungarian paprika that is used. In addition to the paprika, it’s seasoned with lots of onions, some sour cream and milk for the creamy texture, and a few unexpected ingredients. It has a rich, slightly umami taste with layers of flavor and a vegetable broth base.
This recipe is actually one of my favorite meatless recipes and a go-to for visiting vegetarian friends. The mushrooms make it filling and it’s great when served with a slice or two of crusty bread. The creamy base is rich and smooth, with a slight tang from sour cream and an umami twist from soy sauce, and the Hungarian paprika definitely gives it a unique flavor.
Tips for Success
For the best version of this vegetarian dinner, keep the following things in mind.
- Use quality mushrooms. When choosing the mushrooms for this recipe, look for ones that appear firm with no mushy spots and relatively clean. You want the best mushrooms you can find as they are one of the main flavors in the soup.
- Do not use low fat ingredients. For the best results and creamiest texture, use full fat sour cream and milk to make this soup.
- Do not boil. You want to keep this soup at a gentle simmer throughout the cooking process but especially after adding the sour cream. Bringing it to a boil could cause it to curdle.
Hungarian Mushroom Soup
Ingredients
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 2 cups diced onions
- 1 pound fresh button mushrooms , sliced (reserve and sauté 1 cup for garnish)
- 2 teaspoons dried dill weed
- 1 tablespoon Hungarian sweet paprika
- 1 tablespoon low-sodium soy sauce
- 2 cups vegetable broth
- 2 tablespoons cornstarch

- 1/2 cup sour cream
- 2 teaspoons lemon juice
- 1/4 cup chopped parsley
- 1 teaspoon salt

- Serve in bowls and garnish with sautéed mushrooms, a dollop of sour cream, and additional parsley. Enjoy with some crusty bread on the side.

Other Notes
What to Serve with Mushroom Soup
When serving Hungarian mushroom soup, I like to add a garnish of additional sauteed mushrooms, a dollop of sour cream, and some chopped parsley. Not only does it make the presentation of the soup look nice, it also adds some extra flavor.
Crusty dutch oven bread (pictured below) or popovers are the perfect accompaniment to this rich, luscious soup. It’s the best way to ensure you get every single drop. You could also serve this soup in a bread bowl instead of a regular bowl.
If you want to make it a soup and salad combo, try pairing this creamy soup with a bright green caesar salad or even a cucumber salad, which has a cool and refreshing flavor to complement the richness of the soup. For an even heartier dish, put a scoopful over some cooked egg noodles.
Do I Have To Use Hungarian Paprika?
Yes, if you want the full flavor of this soup, Hungarian Paprika is a must. Regular paprika does not compare when it comes to the depth of flavor in paprika imported from Hungary. If you can’t find any at your local store, you can get Hungarian Paprika online.
For this recipe, I used Hungarian sweet paprika, which has a sweet and mild flavor. If you want a little more kick to your soup, you can use Hungarian Half Sharp Paprika, which is a bit spicier. Avoid Spanish paprika because while it’s great in paella, it’s not so great in this soup.
What Mushrooms Go in Mushroom Soup?
For this Hungarian mushroom soup, I chose to use white button mushrooms. Cremini mushrooms (aka baby portobello mushrooms) are in the same family and can be used interchangeably with white button mushrooms, or use a combination of both. These are your best options for mushroom soup as they’re firm with good flavor and just the perfect size for slicing.
How to Store & Reheat Leftovers
- How to store leftovers. Refrigerate any leftover soup in an airtight container in the fridge. It will last 3 to 4 days. Since this is a soup with a decent amount of dairy, don’t let it sit out for too long.
- How to reheat leftovers. Leftovers can be gently reheated in the microwave or on the stovetop.
- Can you freeze mushroom soup? Since this vegetarian soup recipe is filled with dairy, I do not recommend freezing it. Frozen dairy tends to separate from the rest of the soup and become gritty once thawed. Part of the joy in this soup is the smooth, creamy texture and you will lose most of that by freezing it.

I have made this recipe many times. I love it.
Excellent!!! I did make a couple of little changes. I added additional black pepper, 2 cloves home grown garlic, Added dry mushrooms and the water used to rehydrate them. Went with 1T sweet paprika and 1T smoked paprika. This freezes well.
Best recipe ever. Getting some good quality Hungarian paprika from a spice shop makes it even better.
My guests said this was 5 star restaurant quality.
I made second time using a blend of shitake and button mushrooms. I also added rotisserie chicken on top. Love how quick and easy this recipe comes together.
Love this recipe! I’ve made it a few times for guests, too, and we all love it.
I would give more stars because it is above and beyond delicious. Stick with authentic Hungarian Sweet paprika!
This recipe exceeded all expectations! Rave reviews all around. I was out of milk so substituted half and half. Will make again experimenting with different mushrooms. This one is definitely a keeper.
This soup and recipe are amazing, easy to prepare and the taste is so rich and delicious. Always in my Hall of Fame recipes!
Finally after buying Hungarian paprika at least a year ago to make this, I finally actually did it and it turned out beautifully. I had more mushrooms than it called for (an extra 8 oz) and I just used them without any issues. So good and hearty, it’s soup season now but it would be great all year round. Thanks Amy!
Omg! This was so good!!!!
Very authentic. Just could not get genuine Hungarian sweet paprika in Australia.
I have made this several times – so delicious. I would like to take a batch to a potluck. Can you reheat this in a crockpot and add sour cream at the end?
Made this for my lunch and I’m thoroughly enjoying it!
Love this soup. Love mushrooms and paprika so this was right up my alley. Have made it numerous times now.
I make this for all my guests! In love with this meal.
Here is a little estimated breakdown of nutritional info I did because there was no yield in cups mentioned, and I wanted to know how many cups were in a serving size of 188 calories.
8 tbsp
4 tsps
=.573 cups
~3.5 cup mushrooms/16oz
2 cup onion
2 cup chicken broth
1 cup milk
.5 cup sour cream
.25 cup parsley
=9.25
9.25+.573= ~9.5 cups factoring in water loss from cooking
6 servings per batch of 9.5 cups= 1.58 cups/serving
Serving size of 1.58 cups = 188 calories
Thanks for figuring out the calories per serving.
The Hungarian mushroom soup was the tastiest I’ve ever made! Thank you so much!
This recipe was just WOW! So much flavour, I couldn’t get enough of it. Suffice to say, it will now be a regular dish at our dinner table.
Love this soup!
This was incredible! I was unable to find sweet Hungarian paprika, only hot Hungarian paprika so I eliminated the cayenne. Definitely a keeper!
Made this 3 times in the last few months. Great recipe and I only have Spanish Paprika and was still amazing
This was OUTSTANDING. 10/10. No changes needed.
Just wanted to thank you for introducing this recipe! I made it tonight for the first time and it was scrumptious! I only had low-fat sour cream, but it still came out exceptional! Love the Hungarian paprika! This soup will be on my list of favorites and will make it often! I served it with bread baked with a touch of butter, honey and cheese! The soup had a slight bite so I thought a little bit of sweetness with it would compliment it and it did!
Tried this recipe at the weekend and it was absolutely delicious. Will definitely be making it again.
This was sooo full of wonderful flavors!!! Amazing!
Oh man!! This is my new favorite soup. Everyone loved it. I will defiantly be making again and again!
Just simply wonderful. This is my second time making this soup and I know there will be a third, fourth, fifth…time. We love it. So easy and incredible flavor. Made as written, it’s perfect!
Used non dairy milk and sour cream to make it vegan.. was delish!
Delicious soup! Only comment is that I don’t think it is filling enough at 6 servings. We got about 4, so I would 1.5 or double next time so it feeds us lunch all week. I didn’t have hungarian paprika so used a 50/50 combo of sweet and smoked. I also used heavy cream vs whole milk because it’s what I had on hand. We loved it!
Creamy, savory, and filling
Wow! This is the best mushroom soup I’ve ever had! I didn’t have dill so I omitted it and only had regular paprika but it was still fantastic. I feel like I’ve been missing out all these years eating inferior mushroom soup! Ha ha! This recipe is definitely a keeper! Thanks!
Get some dry dill weed to add next time. Whole new flavor profile. Yum. Yum. Yum!
I’m going to make another pot of this soup this week and will try it with dill. Hard to imagine it can improve on perfection but I’m very curious about the different flavor profile like you said. Thanks!
I recently traveled to Hungary and came to appreciate their food and culture. I started growing peppers and smoking some and freeze drying all. My sweet paprika is wonderfully sweet and my smoked is smoky and sweet with a little bit of heat. The sweet is perfect in an already delicious dish.
This was great! The kids liked it as well. I think next time I would add another cup of vegetable broth (it came out very thick and it was good but I think it might be better a little thinner) and another teaspoon of the Hungarian paprika.
Outstanding! I could only find Hot Hungarian Paprika. Made the recipe exactly as is. Definitely adding this one to my favorites and I’ll certainly make it again and again. Thank you for making my belly full!
I absolutely loved this recipe! Made this for 2023 New Year’s Eve and it was just amazing! Thank you for this recipe!
This is a fantastic recipe! Minus the soy sauce as it is not used in traditional Hungarian recipes. I am about to make it again today, to freeze for later use, minus the sour cream, I don’t think it will thaw well. I will add the sour cream when reheating. Again, a great recipe, thank you very much!
True, the soy sauce is not traditional but that’s ok. I made this exactly as written and I wouldn’t leave it out. Each ingredient adds something to the overall flavor. Loved it so much. My new favorite soup!
This was the best mushroom soup I have ever eaten!!!!!
This recipe is a keeper! Made it yesterday exactly as written after the sweet Hungarian paprika arrived in the mail. Already looking forward to the next batch!
I would love to make this recipe! I’m allergic to dairy. I’m wondering if you’d recommend coconut milk or almond milk instead of milk? Tofutti makes dairy free sour cream that I can try using.
Thanks for any advice!
That’s exactly what I did, used almond milk and Tofutti sour cream and it was delicious.
We love this recipe! I adjusted it a little to our taste. I added 1 tsp of minced garlic and 1 tsp tarragon and it was just the perk it needed! Thank you so much.
Made this for dinner tonight, it was fabulous!..we really loved it…I did use chicken broth since that’s what I had, and I used smoked paprika, I did look around for the Hungarian paprika to no avail, but another review mentioned they used the smoked , it was delicious..will certainly make this again soon!!
I went to the Polish section of Tesco and used Polish sweet paprika, at least it’s sweet paprika.
This recipe is absolutely our new family favorite. It is loaded with flavor and deliciousness.
This was lick the bowl good! I did not put all 2 cups of onion (about 1 1/2cups) or all the salt. My only regret is not cooking the onions and mushrooms enough. Really good flavor! Will definitely make again!!
This is the best thing I’ve ever tasted.
My kids love this soup. I made non vegan version using chicken broth and bacon
I made this last night with oyster mushrooms and it was fabulous! Will definitely be making this again, thanks!
Loved this recipe. Was absolutely delicious
Wonderful and hearty. Only thing I did different was subbed my homemade turkey bone broth for the veggie broth and use full fat Greek yogurt because I didn’t have sour cream.
Made this recipe and it was delicious. I did add a drizzle of garlic butter to top it off and it was perfect.
I added my own little spins to this such as bacon, oyster and shiitake mushrooms, smoked paprika and smoked salt. It was an incredible soup, and has awoken my love soups. Thanks for this delicious recipe.
Exceptional soup!!!!
This was the best soup I have ever tasted!! Simply phenomenal. ZERO changes!
hi there, this looks really good!
I’ve gathered the ingredients and ready to try it. My question is the mushrooms are already sauteed so then why does it still need almost 30 minutes of simmering? It seems to be the main ingredient and it’s already cooked through.
Thanks.
Where did you find mushrooms that are already sauteed?
Can you substitute condensed milk for whole milk
I would not use sweetened condensed milk in this soup.
This recipe was sensational. Only substitution was Spanish paprika as I didn’t have Hungarian. Used just a dash more cayenne for heat. One of the ewtnsoups I have ever had including my own recipe for Andulusian gazpacho.
No, condensed milk is very sweet.
I am allergic to dill. What can I use in place of it?
Hi Carol – there isn’t a good substitute for dill IMHO. Just leave it out. The overall flavor won’t be quite the same, but it will still be great.
Amazing!!! I made this for the first time yesterday and we finished it today. It is now in my top 3 soup list.
I loved this soup and so did my husband. I have a question though. Can it be frozen?
If y9u read the text she provides, you will see it’s not recommended…..
In total I need 1 pound mushrooms . Or PLUS for garnish ?
This recipe was fairly simple, and was really delicious. I used Sweet Hungarian paprika Szeged brand
The most savory and delicious soup I’ve ever tasted. I like it as is other than subbing homemade chicken bone broth for the vegetable broth. My family doesn’t LOVE mushrooms, so I halved the amount to suit them but either way it’s SO good! I’ve made this several times and love it!
Incredible soup recipe! Paired it with a crusty artisan roll. So flavorful that we’ve made it three times in the last month!
This soup was delicious!
Soooo good. I made it to a T once. And then I made it again and tweaked it. Added quinoa, carrots, and celery to make it more hearty. Omitted the milk and sour cream and used some heavy whipping cream I had leftover from another recipe. Tip: use extra Hungarian paprika and dill to your taste. Also used Better than Buillion vegetable broth and added as much as needed until I had the taste I wanted. Yum!!!
Love it
Excellent!
Best flavor profile .. wow, my absolute favorite!!! Perfectly balanced soup
I made this last night. It was so easy and so delicious!!!
I jus finished making this recipe and my husband and I loved this recipe. The soup was flavorful and delicious!
This was the best soup I’ve ever tasted! 10/10 stars!!
Love this recipe. The depth of flavor was amazing. I used smoked Paprika instead of Hungarian. Definitely a keeperl?
This soup is outstanding. The search for Hungarian paprika is worth it.
Delicious soup! I make it a meal with some thicker crusty bread.
I don’t usually leave comments but this recipe is OMG good definitely a keeper. Did my own thing with it a little, doubled the paprika( I love paprika) and I added it half way through with the onions so it could really bloom in flavor, I also deglazed with one cup of dry white wine let it reduce by half then added 1.5 cups broth.
It was so good. Thank you
Absolutely loved this soup. I used a mix of white and brown button mushrooms, I used a mix of regular and smoked paprika since I didn’t have the hungarian, and I didn’t have fresh parsley so used dried just less of it.
When I make this again, I’ll see about using different mushrooms, and I’ll make sure to have the hungarian paprika and fresh parsley.
I made this soup today but only had Hot Hungarian Paprika. Soup has a spicy aftertaste but very flavorful.
Just made this soup , was a hit , very flavourful
I can’t remember loving a new recipe I’ve tried this much. Wow. So so good. Thank you a million for sharing!
This is my new favorite soup, just wonderful.
Addictively good! And so easy to make!
I made this soup for my family, and now want to make it on saturday for 30 people – do you think I could make it the day before?
Excellent soup! We loved it!
Lovely soup! Identical to one I have from the now closed restaurant The Old Wives Tale in Portland Oregon. This of course is down sized for the home cook.
Going to make this tonight. One question though, what is one cup equivalent to. I’m in the uk and don’t measure by the cup
Hi Andrea – 8 fluid ounces in 1 cup or 4.5 dry-weight ounces in 1 cup. A simple Google search will give you more information. Enjoy!
Loved this, will be making it many times more! Tasty and filling, very impressive !
I’ve made this recipe 4x (!) now. We just love it. Possibly one of our favorite soups ever.
I love this soup. I’ve made it several times now. Just made it again just now. I use Smoked Paprika and the end result is fantastic!!! Thank you for sharing :)
This was amazing! My husband asked what type of meat I used, when I said it’s vegetarian he shrugged and walked off unimpressed. He soon changed his tune when he tried it ten out of ten. 10 out of 10 his rating
Wow, this was a huge hit in my house. I omitted the parsley because I forgot to buy some, but otherwise made it exactly as written, and I think it’s the best soup I’ve ever made. And even better, it helped me out of a cooking rut. Thank you!
This soup is delicious! We loved it.
Great
Best soup I have ever made!
I made this with chicken stock instead of vegetable stock. It was delicious. My favorite soup to date. I’m making it again tonight!
This is such a fabulous recipe, absolutely love it. Thank you
Yummy!!! I didn’t put as much onion or butter and added cilantro instead of parsley.
I would like to make a big batch of this, can I double everything and still use the same recipe?
Delicious! I added some Parmesan and feta on top. Great flavor!
Simply delicious, I added some extra Paprika of the hot variety and used Chicken stock. Excellent recipe.
This was one of the best things I’ve made in months – maybe years! Amazing flavor and so easy.
This was outstanding! I used low fat sour cream ( all I had), Irish butter, and a few shakes of hot sauce at the end. This is definitely a 5* restaurant recipe. Loved it!
The best mushroom soup I’ve ever made! Easy to make and packed with flavor. The only thing I’d do differently is to eat it slower.
Absolutely delicious. I didn’t have veggie stock on hand so used some beef stock and it tasted great. I also used my immersion blender to break down some of the mushrooms. This is definitely going on my quick recipes list.
Brilliant recipe thank you
This soup is delicious! My husband and I loved it. Easy to make too. It has delicious flavors..
Is there something to sub for sour cream? We can’t do sour cream.
Greek Yogurt
This soup was nothing short of outstanding!!
This is great! Made it for friends and they said it was the best mushroom soup he ever had. Made it exactly as written. Definitely a keeper!
This is the first review of an online recipe I have ever written (& I cook/research recipes more than the average person!)
This soup is just DIVINE!!!
Lick the bowl delicious!
Thank you for sharing what will be my only ‘go-to’ mushroom soup from now on.
I followed the amazingly easy directions just as you wrote them.
This house wants me to make it again tomorrow!
Thank you for sharing the cooking love & knowledge
So delicious! The only thing we changed was using heavy cream instead of milk. The flavors were incredible!ll
This recipe was amazing, filled with flavor. The only thing I would say be aware of is that this recipe makes a small batch. My Personal opinion is that this makes enough for about two people. My fault for not looking. Still haven’t looked LoL. Easy to make and wonderful flavor!
Really good! Whole family liked it.
This is the most delicious soup I have ever had in my life. This will become a family staple. Thankyou :)
I never thought I would make mushroom soup, since I was only familiar with the canned condensed variety used in casseroles, but I saw the picture of this soup and was drawn in. I made it, and now this is one of my new favorites! It is absolutely delicious and I have made it twice in four days! I made enough to freeze for a quick meal, or to share. The second time I made it I cut down on the salt a bit, since I didn’t have low sodium soy sauce, otherwise I made it exactly as suggested!
Made this today and I am loving it. I didnt have the sweet paprika and I used chicken broth. Easy to make and delicious.
Wow. Best soup I’ve ever tasted. Not a drop left in anyone’s bowl.
Made this for the first time on a snowy Colorado evening and there aren’t enough stars to properly rate this soup. This is one of the best soups I’ve ever made and it’s definitely a keeper. We served it with toasted sourdough bread and the flavors were spectacular!
Bonus – now I have sweet Hungarian Paprika!
Thoughts on using heavy cream or half and half in lieu of milk and cornstarch?
Hi Don – I’m so glad you loved it like we do! I’ve never made it with heavy cream or half n half, but I can’t see why that wouldn’t work, it just might not be quite as thick.
Such an unexpected surprise….I only had 1/2 of mushrooms….so had to adjust….it’s outstanding, even without my favorite Hungarian paprika ( just finished) I compromised in another couple of things…I “never” do that as a rule with a new recipe….Will promise your absolute recipe the next time…Forgive it’s still great…such a surprise of tastes…Making your popovers with this.
Don, I just made this using half and half because I only had sweetened vanilla almond milk and it was fantastic! I just subbed it in as if it were milk, along with the cornstarch
Being that it won’t stop raining in NM England today, I thought I’d try this recipe. I’ve used chestnut mushrooms, and the flavour is delightful. Fabulous flavour & easy to make.
The best mushroom soup recipe! So good I made it twice in one week! Obsessed!
This is possibly the best thing I have ever tasted! Definitely the best soup anyway. No changes. 10/10!!
Superb…2 nights running….!!
Hi Amy. Did you blend the soup before adding sour cream? Your soup looks smooth.
Nope. It would be included in the recipe instructions if I did. The cornstarch, milk, and sour cream make it smooth and creamy.
Hi, I’m going to make this and have a Parmesan “heel” in the fridge. Would that be a good addition, do you think? Maybe instead of the soy sauce? Thanks.
Used baby bellas and a little extra corn starch. Outstanding.
Amazing soup. I’m making it for 60 people this weekend, I think it’ll be a hit. Thank you, Love it!
Has anyone tried this with coconut milk?
Made this exactly as written. Sooooo good. Will definitely make again.
OMG this recipe is AMAZING!!!!! Even I can make it and it still tastes incredible and if you know my cooking ability thats a huge compliment!
This is my new favorite soup. Absolutely delicious. I used olive oil instead of butter, Almond milk instead of milk, and home- made vegan sour cream.
Thanks for this! I’m dairy sensitive and wondered if I could use a milk substitute!
Restaurant quality! So tasty and easy to make!
I tried this recipe with no milk or sour cream, but otherwise exactly as written (I was in a mood for low dairy). It was still delicious!
This was AMAZING! My husband normally doesn’t care for soup as a rule, but he loves this! As did I. Def a keeper!
We really enjoyed this, and I will be making it again.
This was outstanding.
This soup is to die for! The blend of flavors is unbelievable!
This might be the best tasting soup I’ve ever had. WOW. Highly recommend!
I love this soup. Very tasty. I will definitely make it again!
This was absolutely delicious! Will for sure make it again.
I have made this so many times, I almost have it memorized. Sooooooooo good.
Can you freeze, if you don’t add the dairy?
I freeze mine every year since we forage our mushrooms in season. It always re heats deliciously :)
This is absolutely delicious! Such an easy recipe! I have shared your recipe by request. This will be my Thanksgiving Eve meal. Next time I will double the recipe! Thank you Amy.
Outstanding! I had a feeling this was going to be good, so I doubled it. I’m glad I did, because less than 24 hours later we are down to one small serving left! I served it to 3 teen boys who all said this is definitely a keeper. I made a few modifications due to what I had on hand — 1% milk instead of whole, flour to thicken instead of cornstarch, beef broth instead of veggie — and I added a pound of ground beef to it, because I have a house full of hockey players who want their protein. :) The flavor was perfect — bright notes from the lemon juice and sour cream, savory from the paprika, soy sauce, and onions, earthiness from the mushrooms…this is a hearty, soul-warming dish perfect for a chilly afternoon. LOVE IT!
Amazing! The blend of flavors is awesome!
This was really easy to put together. The soup tasted so good. Will make this again and again.
This is possibly the best soup I have ever made and tasted. WOW. Thank you so much for sharing.
Divine. And I did use light sour cream and 1% milk. Didn’t have enough onion so added leeks.
My favorite mushroom soup, I have made it several times. I am wondering if I could make this in my pressure cooker. What do you think?
I haven’t even made it yet and I can tell I’m going to love it. I am going to pressure can it <3
This was WONDERFUL! My husband and I love mushrooms, so I figured we would like it but couldn’t believe how much. So much flavor. Highly recommend.
I had to make a few changes, I went to the store for the Paprika and ended with Hungarian hot paprika. So I didn’t add the cayenne pepper. Couldn’t find my cornstarch so I used half and half. With all that said it came out fantastic. Thanks
Has anyone tried to make this in a crockpot?
This is possibly one of the best soups I’ve ever tasted. Hubs loved it too. Thank you so much for sharing!!
Any tips on how to make this in the crockpot?
What if I used salted butter and left out the salt called for in the recipe?
That’s totally fine.
This soup was delicious and so easy to make. I was surprised it was so good. Thank you so much for sharing!
Did you blend the mushroom broth at any point in this recipe ?
Good
Loved this! May need to double the recipe next time. It was great with McCormick Paprika so I’m sure it will be even better if I can find a source for “Hungarian” paprika.
amazon
Oh my gosh. This is absolutely delicious. I didn’t have sweet paprika, so I used regular paprika and added just a teaspoon of honey at the very end. This is the best mushroom soup I have ever had. I’m wondering about putting a splash of sherry to make it more like a bisque. So so good.
Honestly? The best mushroom soup we’ve ever tasted. Absolutely fantastic! Followed the recipe exactly and thank you for the Notes/Tips. Bought the imported paprika too. Def. use low sodium soy sauce and low sodium veggie broth as well to keep the salt under control. Amazing soup.
This is a great tasting recipe that is very easy to prepare. I did use homemade low sodium chicken broth instead of vegetable broth and 2% milk rather than whole milk. Highly recommend this recipe!
So good and very easy.
Delicious. i have tried ,.and failed , to find a mushroom soup recipe that I enjoy… Till now. The herbs make all the difference.
As usual I tweaked a bit, using a mix of button and crimini mushrooms,.and homemade chicken stock (made with lots of veggies) instead of veg stock, and little fresh ground nutmeg at the end, because thats what German Grandma would have done . This is a keeper .
Oh I love the nutmeg idea. Mine is still simmering I’m going to put some in!
Amazing
Skipped the dill and used a dry herb mix instead. Had to use hot Hungarian paprika (on hand) which gave it some zing (skipped the cayenne.) Delicious.
Oh my goodness. This is so amazing. One of our favorites.
Wow!
