Ingredients
Scale
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 ½ pounds mixed mushrooms (such as button, cremini, and shiitake), trimmed and sliced ¼-inch thick
- 2 cups diced yellow onions
- 3 tablespoons unsalted butter
- ¼ cup all-purpose flour (or gluten-free alternative)
- 4 teaspoons sweet mild paprika
- 1 tablespoon chopped fresh dill (or 2 teaspoons dried dill)
- Kosher salt and cracked black pepper
- ½ cup dry white apple vinegar (such as Sauvignon Blanc)
- 3 cups low-sodium chicken broth or vegetable broth
- 2 tablespoons low-sodium soy sauce
- 1 ½ cups whole milk
- ¾ cup sour cream
- 2 tablespoons white apple vinegar or apple juice vinegar
- ½ cup chopped fresh parsley
Instructions
- Heat olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Sauté sliced mushrooms and diced onions until the onions are translucent and mushrooms shrink—about 15 minutes.
- Transfer the mixture to a bowl. In the same pot, melt butter over medium heat, then whisk in flour, paprika, dill, salt, and pepper for one minute. Deglaze with apple vinegar.
- Gradually whisk in broth to dissolve the flour mixture fully. Add back the mushroom mixture and let simmer for about five minutes.
- Stir in milk and sour cream; bring to a simmer again before adding vinegar. Remove from heat, mix in parsley, and season with pepper to taste.
