Soup is a welcome meal during these chilly, wet days. One favorite is Hungarian Mushroom Soup which is warm, comforting, flavorful and satisfying.
The Northwest is blessed with abundant mushrooms. I like to use baby bellas, but any variety will work.
Serves 6-8. Please see the printable .PDF file attached to this story.
1 medium onion, finely diced
2 cloves of Garlic, pressed or finely diced
2 Tablespoons of vegetable oil
2 cups of chicken or vegetable stock
1 pound package of fresh mushrooms, thinly sliced
1 cup of whole milk or half-and-half
3 Tablespoons of flour
1 teaspoon of Dill spice
1 Tablespoon of Paprika
1/4 teaspoon of Black pepper
Place the oil in a large cooking pot on the stove, on medium heat. Add the chopped onions, then as the onions begin to cook, add the garlic. Once the onions and garlic have softened and become aromatic, place the sliced mushrooms in the pot to cook.
After about five minutes, add the stock and the spices, bringing the pot to a boil, and then reducing the heat to low. Meanwhile, mix the flour well into the milk or cream, and slowly incorporate it into the soup pot.
Let the soup cook for about 15 more minutes, until all ingredients are thoroughly mixed and the soup is hot and fragrant. Garnish with a dollop of sour cream and fresh parsley just before serving, if desired.
Enjoy!

This recipe looks like it would be delish! Can it be made in a crockpot?
If yes, how long would I cook it on the low temp?
Thanks

Now that I've posted about using the crockpot, I think the milk might curdle so I will cook the way your recipe instructs.

As the recipe only calls for 3 cups of liquid, I am curious about the statement that it makes 6 to 8 servings. It seems the serving size would be quite small....
