I happen to love mushrooms and made this Hungarian Mushroom Soup. It’s so delicious and comforting. The mushrooms are sautéed in butter until softened, then simmered in broth with onions, paprika, and other spices until thickened and finished with sour cream. It takes no time to prepare and I served it with crusty bread.
