INGREDIENT NOTES:

BUTTER:

• Butter helps sauté the onions & mushrooms evenly without browning & adds a creamy richness. It gives the soup’s texture a smooth, tasty foundation.

OLIVE OIL:

• Olive oil helps keep things from sticking while cooking & balances the butter by imparting a faint fruity flavor. It also deepens the flavor of the soup.

ONIONS:

• Onions’ slight sweet taste balances the paprika & mushrooms’ spicy flavor. It creates the dish’s aromatic foundation.

MUSHROOMS:

• The soup’s main ingredient, mushrooms, gives it a robust, earthy flavor. The texture & richness of baby bella or cremini mushrooms are ideal.

SMOKED PAPRIKA:

• What makes this soup uniquely Hungarian is the smoked paprika. It enhances the flavor & adds smoky warmth and color.

VEGETABLE BROTH:

• Vegetable or chicken broth adds flavor without adding extra carbohydrates. It keeps the mixture light & well-balanced while assisting the ingredients in blending together.

HEAVY CREAM:

• This soup is filling & keto-friendly because of the rich creaminess that heavy cream adds. It naturally thickens the broth without the use of flour.

SOUR CREAM:

• The soup’s distinctive Eastern European flavor comes from the thick texture & subtle tang of sour cream. It also softens the smoky flavor of paprika.

TAMARI:

• Tamari improves the flavor of the mushrooms & eliminates the need for too much salt by adding umami depth. It’s a flavor enhancer that is secretly keto-friendly.

LEMON JUICE:

• Lemon juice provides the hint of acidity, which counterbalances the richness of the creamy soup. It maintains the flavors bright & fresh.

FRESH DILL:

• The burst of herbal freshness that comes from the fresh dill enhances the earthy mushrooms. That distinctive Hungarian finish requires it.
