Things You Will Need for This Soup

this …

• Mushrooms: Mushrooms are the main ingredient in this golden mushroom soup. You can take cremini, button, or shiitake. I am a brown mushroom lover, so I am using cremini. You can choose any of that but make sure to choose mushroom wisely because it is the key ingredient of this golden mushroom soup recipe.
• Onions: The onion adds flavor and aroma to your soup. I am using yellow onion because I like its taste.
• Butter and Olive Oil: Butter and olive oil are used for sautéing mushrooms and onions. If you don’t have olive oil, then you can use any other oil. I prefer the healthier option, that’s why I am using olive oil.
• Tomato: Tomato adds a tangy and sweet flavor to soup.
• All-Purpose Flour: All-purpose flour is used for thickening the soup. It helps to achieve the desired consistency in your soup.
• Beef Stock: It’s the base of soup. Beef stock adds richness and umami flavor to the soup. I am using fresh beef stock, but you can also choose canned beef stock.
• Paprika: Paprika adds flavor and smoky flavor to soup.
• Fresh Parsley: Fresh parsley is used for garnishing the soup.
• Lemon Juice: Lemon juice is optional. You can add lemon juice to your soup to add extra flavor.
