Hungarian Mushroom Soup
This is an easy vegetarian dinner recipe to prep, it just needs time to simmer. For the best version of this vegetarian dinner, keep the following things in mind: 1) Use quality mushrooms. When choosing the mushrooms for this recipe, look for ones that appear firm with no mushy spots and relatively clean. You want the best mushrooms you can find as they are one of the main flavors in the soup. 2) Do not use low fat ingredients. For the best results and creamiest texture, use full fat sour cream and milk to make this soup. 3) Do not boil. You want to keep this soup at a gentle simmer throughout the cooking process but especially after adding the sour cream. Bringing it to a boil could cause it to curdle. 4) Use Hungarian paprika.
