Ingredients
Scale
Base Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons olive oil or butter
- 1 medium onion, finely chopped
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 16 oz mushrooms (cremini or white), sliced
- 1 teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce or tamari
Cooking Ingredients
- 4 cups vegetable broth
- 8 oz uncooked egg noodles (or pasta of choice)
Finishing Ingredients
- ½ cup sour cream or Greek yogurt
- 2 tablespoons cream cheese (optional, for extra creaminess)
- 2 tablespoons chopped parsley (for garnish)
Instructions
- Prepare the aromatics: In a large pot or deep skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the finely chopped onion and sauté for 3–4 minutes until softened and translucent, which will develop the base flavor.
- Sauté mushrooms and garlic: Stir in the minced garlic and sliced mushrooms. Cook for 8–10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the mushrooms are browned and tender. This step ensures the mushrooms release their moisture and develop a rich flavor.
- Season the mixture: Add the salt, black pepper, smoked paprika, and soy sauce to the mushroom mixture. Stir well to coat the mushrooms evenly, imparting smoky and savory depth to the dish.
- Add broth and noodles: Pour in the vegetable broth and bring it up to a boil. Once boiling, add the uncooked egg noodles, reduce the heat to a simmer, and cook uncovered for 8–10 minutes. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking, until the noodles are tender and most of the liquid has absorbed.
- Finish with creaminess: Remove the pot from the heat. Stir in the sour cream and optional cream cheese until fully incorporated, creating a smooth, creamy sauce that envelops the noodles and mushrooms.
- Adjust seasoning and garnish: Taste the stroganoff and adjust the seasoning if necessary. Sprinkle with chopped parsley for freshness and serve warm for a comforting meal.
Notes
- For a vegan version, substitute plant-based sour cream and cream cheese alternatives.
- Add extra vegetables like spinach or peas at the end of cooking for added nutrition and color.
- This dish is best enjoyed fresh but can be reheated gently with a splash of broth or milk to restore creaminess.
