Ingredients

this …

• Mushrooms: Mushrooms are the main ingredient in this golden mushroom soup. You can use cremini, button, or shiitake mushrooms. I love brown mushrooms, so I am using cremini. You can choose any of those, but select mushrooms wisely because they are the key ingredient of this golden mushroom soup recipe.
• Onions: Onions add 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. You can use any other oil if you don’t have olive oil. I prefer the healthier option, so I use olive oil.
• Tomato: Tomato adds a tangy and sweet flavor to golden mushroom soup.
• All-Purpose Flour: All-purpose flour thickens the soup and helps achieve the desired consistency.
• Beef Stock is the base of soup. It 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 the soup.
• Fresh Parsley: Fresh parsley is used to garnish the soup.
• Lemon Juice: Lemon juice is optional. You can add lemon juice to your soup to add extra flavor.
