How To Make Crock Pot Hungarian Mushroom Soup

1. Sauté mushrooms and onions: In a skillet over medium heat, melt the butter. Add chopped onion and sliced mushrooms. Cook for about 8 minutes, until onions are soft and mushrooms have released their moisture.
2. Transfer to slow cooker: Add the sautéed mixture to the Crock Pot. Pour in stock, wine, dill, thyme, paprika, Worcestershire sauce, and salt. Stir to combine.
3. Slow cook the soup: Cover and cook on LOW for 4 hours.
4. Add thickening mixture: In a small bowl, whisk together flour and milk until smooth. Stir this mixture into the Crock Pot. Cover and cook on HIGH for 30–45 minutes, or until the soup thickens.
5. Finish the soup: Stir in sour cream and lemon juice until fully blended. Taste and adjust seasoning if needed.
6. Serve: Ladle into bowls and top with a dollop of sour cream, chopped parsley, and freshly cracked black pepper.
