The creamiest mushroom soup with fresh dill, thyme, and paprika. Top with a dollop of sour cream and crusty bread!
Hello winter/spring/summer/fall comfort food.
WHAT IS HUNGARIAN MUSHROOM SOUP?
Hungarian mushroom soup is a cream soup typically made with sautéed mushrooms and seasoned generously with paprika, fresh dill + thyme, and lemon juice.
This soup is made all year long here. It’s a soul-warming, hug-in-a-bowl type of soup, and we load it up with cremini and shiitake mushrooms. Shiitake is generally not in Hungarian soup but they add so much umami goodness and definitely kicks it up a notch.
The effort here is minimal as everything comes together in one pot in a dump-and-cook type situation, letting it simmer and simmer until all the flavors come together. The consistency is just right with a milk and flour slurry, just creamy enough to pile on spoonfuls on top of crusty bread or toasted crostini slices.
Not to mention a dollop of sour cream that goes a very very long way.
