- 5 cups diced onions
- 5 pounds mushrooms (about 25 cups, sliced)
- 2½ teaspoons salt

- ½ cup flour
- 5 cups water
- 2½ cups half-and-half
- 1¼ cups sour cream

Instructions
- In a heavy-bottom pan on medium heat, melt the butter. Add onions and cook for 5 minutes, or until soft. Add sliced mushrooms, salt, pepper, dill, and paprika and cook for 15 minutes. Add the flour and stir for 5 minutes. Add water and bring to a boil. Once boiling, reduce heat to a simmer and cook for 15 minutes. Add the half-and-half and cook for 5 minutes.
