Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Melt the butter in a large pot over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and sauté for about 5 minutes until soft and translucent.
  2. Stir in the sliced mushrooms and cook for another 5 minutes until browned and moisture is released.
  3. Pour in the chicken broth, soy sauce, paprika, and dried dill. Stir well and bring to a gentle simmer. Cover and cook for 15 minutes.
  4. In a small bowl, whisk together the milk and flour to create a smooth slurry.
  5. Gradually stir the slurry into the soup, mixing continuously to avoid clumps. Cover and let it simmer for an additional 15 minutes.
  6. Lower the heat and add the sour cream, parsley, and lemon juice. Stir gently for 3-5 minutes, being careful not to boil.
  7. Ladle the soup into bowls, garnishing with extra sour cream and parsley. Serve immediately with crusty bread.
