Ingredients
4 tbsp butter
1 medium sweet onion, chopped
1 pound cremini or button mushrooms, sliced
2 cups chicken stock
1/2 cup vegetable broth
2 tsp dried dill
1 tsp dried thyme
1 tsp paprika
1 1/2 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
1 tsp kosher salt
3 tbsp flour
1 cup whole milk
1/4 cup heavy cream
1/2 tbsp lemon juice
Instructions
Melt the butter in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium heat.
Add the chopped onions and sliced mushrooms and stir occasionally until onions are soft and translucent.
Stir in the chicken stock, vegetable broth, dill, thyme, paprika, Worcestershire sauce, and salt.
Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 10 minutes until the liquid reduces by one-fourth.
Whisk the flour and whole milk in a small bowl until smooth and stir into the pot.
Cook for an additional 10 minutes, stirring frequently until the soup thickens.
Reduce heat to low and stir in the heavy cream and lemon juice just before serving.
Notes
Ensure mushrooms are cleaned thoroughly with a damp cloth or a quick rinse and pat dry to maintain the best texture. If you prefer a thinner soup, you can add a splash more chicken stock before serving. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
