| Hungarian Mushroom Soup |
"Work to become, not to acquire."- Confucius
Today's soup is one of my favorites, but I don't make it very often. It is a little rich to eat all the time because of the butter in the recipe.
The weather has stayed cold and snowy so it is still perfect soup weather. This recipe only takes about 30 minutes from start to finish if you use pre-sliced mushrooms like I did.
I ate this right before my long run for the week, a 10 mile tempo run. I paired the soup with a romaine lettuce salad, homemade squash rolls baked that morning and jello with fruit.
Mushroom Soup
3/4 cup yellow onion chopped.
4 tablespoons butter
3 Cups (8 ounces) of sliced fresh mushrooms ( I used portabella, but experiment and even mix it up)
2 teaspoons dill weed
2 teaspoons paprika
4 cloves of garlic minced
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
3 ( 14 ounce) cans beef broth
1 1/3 cup fat free half and half
1/2 cup all purpose flour
2 tablespoons Greek yogurt
1 tablespoon lemon juice
2 teaspoons soy sauce
In a soup pot, heat butter, add onions and cook for 5 minutes, add mushrooms, dill weed, paprika, garlic and pepper. Cook until mushrooms are tender. Add beef broth, bring to boil and simmer 10 minutes.
In a medium bowl, blend half and half, flour, yogurt, lemon juice and soy sauce. Whisk in about 1/2 cup of the mushroom mixture. Then add all to soup pot. Cook until the soup thickens. Serves 8.
