Clean the oyster mushrooms, trim off any tough ends, and slice them into thin strips to resemble tripe.
Peel and finely dice the carrots, parsnip, celery, and onion. Mince the garlic.
In a large pot, melt the butter (or heat olive oil) over medium heat. Add the onions and garlic, and sautΓ© until softened, about 4 minutes.
Add the diced carrots, parsnip, and celery to the pot. Cook for another 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Stir in the sliced oyster mushrooms, paprika, sweet paprika, and bay leaves. Cook for 5 minutes, allowing the flavors to combine.
Pour in the vegetable broth and bring the soup to a gentle boil. Reduce the heat to low and simmer for 30 minutes.
If you prefer a thicker soup, mix the flour with a small amount of water to form a smooth paste. Stir it into the soup and simmer for an additional 5 minutes.
Stir in the apple cider vinegar, salt, and pepper. Simmer for another 2 minutes.
Remove the pot from heat and whisk in the vegetarian sour cream until fully incorporated.
Taste the soup and adjust seasoning if necessary. Remove the bay leaves.
Garnish each serving with freshly chopped parsley and an optional dollop of additional sour cream.
Serve warm with crusty bread or your favorite side dish.
