In a large pot, melt the unsalted butter over medium heat.
Add the finely chopped onion and sauté until translucent, about 5 minutes.
Add the sliced mushrooms and cook until they release their moisture and start to brown, around 8 minutes.
Stir in the all-purpose flour and cook for 1-2 minutes to form a roux.
Slowly pour in the low sodium vegetable broth while whisking to avoid lumps.
Add the diced potatoes and bay leaf, then bring the mixture to a boil.
Reduce the heat and let it simmer until the potatoes are tender, about 15 minutes.
Stir in the fresh dill, white vinegar, and ground black pepper.
Reduce the heat to low and gently mix in the heavy cream.
Remove the bay leaf before serving.
Taste and adjust the seasoning if necessary, then serve hot with additional dill for garnish if desired.
