Cook 5 minutes or until soft over medium heat. Next, add 1 cup of the reserved broth, mushrooms, tamari, paprika and dill. Stir, cover and simmer 15 minutes. In a separate pot melt butter. Next, whisk in flour and cook 10-15 seconds. Whisk in the milk and cook for about 3-4 minutes until thickened. Add the remaining broth to the milk mixture and then to the mushroom mixture. Stir, cover and cook 10 more minutes. Serve with garnish of lemon juice, parsley and sour cream.
