  • 2 teaspoons of Hungarian paprika
  • 1 teaspoon of dried thyme
  • 1/2 cup of dry white wine

  6. Pour in white wine and simmer until reduced by half.
  7. Add broth and simmer for 15 minutes.

Use high-quality Hungarian paprika for best flavor. Avoid boiling after adding sour cream to prevent curdling. Roast mushrooms beforehand for a deeper taste. For vegan version, use olive oil and plant-based sour cream.
