Ingredients

• 2 tablespoons Butter
• 1 medium Yellow onion, finely chopped
• 2 cloves Garlic, minced
• 400 grams Fresh mushrooms (e.g., chanterelles, cremini, or button), sliced
• 2 tablespoons All-purpose flour
• 750 milliliters Chicken or vegetable broth
• 200 milliliters Heavy cream
• 1 teaspoon Soy sauce
• 0.5 teaspoons Salt
• 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper
• 2 tablespoons Fresh dill, chopped (optional, for garnish)
• 0 none Bread or crackers (optional, for serving)

Directions

Step 1

In a large pot, melt the butter over medium heat.

Step 2

Add the chopped onion and garlic, and sauté until soft and translucent, about 5 minutes.

Step 3

Stir in the sliced mushrooms and cook until they release their juices and these juices evaporate, about 8–10 minutes.

Step 4

Sprinkle the flour over the mushroom mixture and stir well, ensuring all the ingredients are evenly coated. Cook for 1–2 minutes to remove any raw flour taste.

Step 5

Gradually pour in the chicken or vegetable broth, stirring constantly to prevent lumps. Bring the mixture to a simmer and cook for another 10 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld.

Step 6

Stir in the heavy cream, soy sauce, salt, and black pepper. Simmer for an additional 5 minutes, but do not let the soup boil.

Step 7

Taste and adjust seasoning, if necessary. For a smoother texture, you can use an immersion blender to purée some or all of the soup, though this step is optional.

Step 8

Ladle the soup into bowls and garnish with fresh dill, if desired. Serve hot with bread or crackers on the side.
