  1. Step 1:Start by melting the butter in a large pot over medium heat.
  2. Step 2:Add the diced onions and sauté until translucent.
  3. Step 3:Stir in the sliced mushrooms (except for the reserved garnish), cooking them until they release moisture and begin to brown. This will take about 5-7 minutes.
  4. Step 4:Sprinkle the dried dill, paprika, and soy sauce over the mushroom mixture, stirring well to combine all the ingredients.

  6. Step 6:In a small bowl, whisk together the cornstarch with a bit of cold water to form a slurry. Slowly stir this into the soup, ensuring the mixture thickens without clumping.
  7. Step 7:Gradually pour in the whole milk, letting the soup simmer for another 5 minutes until it’s creamy.
  8. Step 8:Lower the heat and stir in the sour cream and lemon juice, blending everything smoothly. Be careful not to let it boil, or the sour cream may curdle.
  9. Step 9:Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  10. Step 10:In a separate pan, sauté the reserved ¾ cup of mushrooms until golden, and set them aside for garnishing.

Notes

Use fresh mushroomsfor the best flavor. Fresh button mushrooms provide the earthiness that defines the dish.
Don’t rush the sautéing process: Let the onions and mushrooms cook slowly to extract the most flavor.
If you’re in a rush, you can use pre-sliced mushrooms, but for abetter texture, slice them fresh.
Add the cornstarch slowlyto avoid lumps, ensuring a smooth, creamy texture.
