Best Mushroom Soup Recipe
Traditionally, Hungarian soup is a rich and robust soup made with mushrooms, paprika, and a creamy base. Hearty soups are perfect for those chilly nights when you need a quick and comforting meal.
Once you try this recipe, you will never want to make mushroom soup any other way. My family is obsessed with this soup and I bet yours will be too! It is truly one of our favorite dinner ideas.
This was very easy and fast to make I used three different types of mushrooms the two said in the recipe and some portabella they are so yummy it turned out great . Thank you so much for sharing..

Mushroom Soup Ingredients
- butter
- white onion finely chopped
- mushrooms
- flour
- Hungarian sweet paprika
- white wine
- chicken or vegetable stock
- soy sauce
- milk
- sour cream
- dried dill
- lemon
- Salt and pepper to taste

How to Make Mushroom Soup
- In a large pan, fry the onions in butter until soft, then add the mushrooms and cook for another 2 minutes.
- When the mushrooms start to soften, sprinkle with flour and paprika and mix in well.
- Next, add the white wine and scrape up any bits of flour and paprika stuck to the base of the pan. Then gradually add the stock, milk and soy sauce, and stir continually, until the soup starts to boil and thicken.
- Take the soup off the heat and allow to cool slightly before adding the sour cream, then stir in well. IMPORTANT NOTE: adding the sour cream while still on the heat will cause it to curdle!
- Add the lemon juice, dill, and seasoning to taste. Serve with freshly chopped parsley and extra dollops of sour cream (optional).
We love this recipe. I have made it many times.

- Always remove the pot from the heat while adding the sour cream. Adding the sour cream while still on the heat will cause it to curdle!
Mushroom Soup Recipes FAQs
We recommend Shiitake, Cremini, portobello, or button mushrooms for this easy mushroom soup.
No matter which mushrooms you choose for this recipe, the most important thing is to look for freshness. You want nice firm mushrooms.
I am a huge paprika fan and use it in almost everything. At my house, its a staple almost as necessary as salt and pepper.
Paprika is a ground spice made from a combination of dried peppers, including hot chili peppers, cayenne peppers, poblano peppers, Aleppo peppers, and sweet peppers.
Some paprikas are hot and spicy, others are sweet, with no heat and a mild flavor.
While I am a huge fan of Spanish and Portuguese paprika in most dishes, Hungarian paprika is preferable for this recipe, but not necessary if you can’t find it. However, Hungarian Paprika adds a bolder and more authentic flavor to the soup.
Freshly made Creamy Mushroom Soup will keep in the fridge in a sealed container for 3 days.
Freeze for up to 3 months and defrost thoroughly before reheating. Reheat in a pan on low on the stove and ensure the soup is piping hot throughout before serving.

I froze it in one cup portions and defrosted one for supper last night. It was just as delicious as it was when just cooked. I did not add sour cream until ready to eat. Will definitely be making this again.

Notes
- IMPORTANT NOTE: adding the sour cream while still on the heat will cause it to curdle!
- Hungarian mushroom soup can be frozen. Allow to fully cool before transferring to an airtight container.Freeze for up to 3 months and defrost thoroughly before reheating. Reheat in a pan and ensure the soup is piping hot throughout before serving.
- It is not essential to use Hungarian paprika. Standard paprika will work fine. However, the use of authentic Hungarian paprika, which has a deep red color and sweeter flavor, would undoubtedly produce a richer, sweeter soup.
- Freshly made soup will also keep in the fridge, in a sealed container, for 2 days.

My hubby went crazy over this soup! I cooked 1-1/2 lbs of chuck roast that I cubed and cooked in the Instant Pot with 1-1/2 cups water, a little salt & pepper for 25 minutes on high, slow release for 10 minutes. I used the broth from that in place of the vegetable broth otherwise I followed the recipe. It was tasty. I did think the tablespoon (3 tsp) of dried dill was over powering. He’s already said he wants to make this again. I guess I’ll cut way back on the dill next time (and I love dill). He agreed the dill was kinda strong. Maybe we just have some strong dill weed. He loved (and so did I) the addition of the beef. Had some hot crusty bread with it.
