How to make Hungarian Mushroom Soup
- Step 1
Melt 2 tbsp of butter in a large pot.
- Step 2
Sweat the diced onions until translucent.
- Step 3
Add the mushrooms and sauté until the juices are released.

Stir in the paprika and mix well.
- Step 5
Add the tamari and vegetable stock, then bring the mixture to a boil and reduce to a simmer.
- Step 6
In a separate pan, make a roux by melting the remaining butter and mixing it with the corn starch. Cook the roux for 10 minutes over medium heat.

Drain about 2 cups of liquid from the soup and beat it into the roux until smooth. This step is crucial to avoid lumps.

Tips & Tricks
Make sure to cook the roux for the full 10 minutes to remove the raw taste of the corn starch.
Adding liquid to the roux gradually ensures a smooth consistency without lumps.
Use fresh mushrooms for the best flavor and texture.
Adjust the amount of paprika to your taste preference for a spicier or milder soup.
FAQS
