Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1 medium yellow onion, finely chopped
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 pound white or cremini mushrooms, sliced
- 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons paprika
- 1 teaspoon dried dill
- 4 cups vegetable broth
- 1 cup whole milk
- 1 cup sour cream
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped (optional for garnish)
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
In a large pot or Dutch oven, melt the butter over medium heat.
Add the chopped onion and sauté for 5-7 minutes, until softened and translucent.
Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional 1 minute, until fragrant.
Add the sliced mushrooms and cook for 8-10 minutes, stirring frequently, until the mushrooms release their liquid and begin to brown.
Sprinkle the flour, paprika, and dried dill over the mushroom mixture. Stir well to coat everything evenly and cook for 1-2 minutes to remove the raw flour taste.
Gradually pour in the vegetable broth, stirring constantly to avoid lumps. Bring the mixture to a simmer.
Stir in the milk and let the stew simmer gently for 10-12 minutes, until thickened and the flavors meld together.
Reduce the heat to low and stir in the sour cream until fully incorporated. Do not let the stew boil after adding the sour cream to prevent curdling.
Season with salt and black pepper, adjusting to taste.
Ladle the stew into bowls and garnish with fresh parsley, if desired. Serve hot with crusty bread or over cooked rice for a hearty meal.
