I made Hungarian mushroom soup and it’s a little too delicious to be real
BUNJY RECIPE BOOK- HUNGARIAN MUSHROOM SOUP
Ingredients:
4 tbsp butter
1 large white onion, diced
16 oz white mushrooms, sliced into half-slices or diced
3 tbsp flour (gluten-free okay)
1 ½ tbsp paprika
3 cups veggie or chicken stock
3 tbsp soy sauce
1 cup 2% milk (yes, it has to be 2%)
½ cup sour cream (results not guaranteed for lite version)
1 ½ tbsp lemon juice
1 tbsp chopped fresh dill, slightly less for dried dill
¼ cup chopped parsley
salt and pepper
okay! so take a large saucepan and heat over medium low, and melt the butter in it. add the mushrooms and turn the heat up a notch or so and cover, stirring occasionally until the mushrooms give up their liquid. once the pot gets soupy, add the onion and put the lid back on until the mushrooms are brown and the onion is fully cooked through. once this is achieved, remove the lid and cook off most (not all!) of the liquid. at this point, add the flour and paprika TOGETHER, and mix! this will get gluey and start sticking all over the place- that’s fine. cook while stirring for a few minutes, enough for the paprika to gain aroma and the flour to darken. next, add the stock and soy sauce, and stir to work all of the clumps of flour off the bottom of the pan and into the liquid. once the soup is smooth, add the milk and bring to a light boil. once the pot boils, lower to the heat to a simmer and ignore for 10 minutes. once the time is up, REMOVE THE PAN FROM THE HEAT and allow to cool slightly. once the pan is no longer scorching hot, add the sour cream and dill, and stir it in. lastly, add the lemon juice and parsley, plus salt and pepper to taste, and stir again to make it all a smooth lovely soup. serve immediately.
now that this has left my bubble and is reaching non-usaamericans, here are some amendments for international use!
I used american white button mushrooms, a soft and mild mushroom without a strong flavor. you can use whatever mushrooms you have locally that are equally mild or somewhat savory, strong flavors may throw off the soup balance!
I have 2% milk in the recipe because whole milk can do weird stuff when it’s boiled, as long as you aren’t using whole milk or milk water pretending to be milk you can treat the recipe as it’s written. if you only have whole milk, keep the heat to a LOW simmer and keep an eye on it to watch for weird clumping during that part of the recipe, but you’ll probably be fine. lactose-free milk also works fine.
feel the parsley in your soul. ¼-1/3 of a cup, whatever you end up chopping. be free.
