To-Die-For Rustic Hungarian Mushroom Soup

Chef's Notes

Use real lemon juice instead of bottled lemon juice. You can substitute dry parsley for fresh parsley, but only use two teaspoons. White button mushrooms, cremini mushrooms (baby bella mushrooms), or wild mushrooms can be used in place of the mushroom mixture. You can vary the kind of mushrooms you use for different flavor. Vegetable stock or beef stock can be used instead of chicken stock. Kosher salt can replace soy sauce, coconut aminos, orliquid aminos. Hungarian sweet paprikia or smoked paprika can replace regular Hungarian paprika in this delicious soup. To make a thicker, robust soup, you can add cream cheese. The addition of white wine will give this soup unique flavor. You can substitute plant-based butter, plant-based yogurt, and plant-based milk to make this soup vegan. Add a little olive oil to the butter to prevent the onions from burning. Minced garlic added with the onions will give this soup more flavor.
