Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 ½ pounds mixed mushrooms, 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 white grape juice vinegar or apple juice vinegar
  • 3 cups low-sodium chicken broth or vegetable broth
  • 1 ½ cups whole milk
  • ¾ cup sour cream
  • ½ cup chopped fresh parsley

Instructions

  1. In a large pot, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add sliced mushrooms and diced onions; sauté until onions are translucent and mushrooms reduce in size (about 15 minutes).
  2. Transfer cooked vegetables to a bowl. In the same pot, melt butter and whisk in flour, paprika, dill, salt, and pepper for about one minute to create a roux.
  3. Deglaze the pot with white grape juice vinegar until evaporated. Gradually whisk in broth until smooth; return mushroom mixture to the pot and simmer until reduced by half (about 5 minutes).
  4. Stir in milk and sour cream until combined; bring back to a simmer before adding vinegar for tanginess. Finish with chopped parsley.
