Cook the Noodles
1
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil.
Cook egg noodles according to package instructions until al dente.
Drain and toss with butter to prevent sticking. Set aside and keep warm.

In a large skillet or sauté pan, heat butter and olive oil over medium heat.
Add the onions and cook for 5–6 minutes, until soft and golden.
Stir in the garlic and cook for 1 minute until fragrant.
Add mushrooms and sauté for 8–10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until browned and reduced in volume.
Build the Sauce
3
Sprinkle the paprika, thyme, and flour over the mushroom mixture. Stir and cook for 1–2 minutes.
Slowly pour in the wine (or broth), scraping the bottom of the pan. Let it simmer and reduce for 2–3 minutes.
Add vegetable broth and soy sauce. Stir well and bring to a gentle simmer. Cook for another 5 minutes to thicken.

Turn the heat to low. Stir in the sour cream until smooth.
Simmer for 2–3 minutes, adjusting seasoning with salt and pepper.
Do not boil once sour cream is added to prevent curdling.
Serve

Spoon the mushroom stroganoff generously over top.
