I'm so glad that I read other reviews and added garlic and worcestshire sauce, or I probably wouldn't have liked it. With the additions, it was really good. My boyfriend is a vegetarian, so I've learning to make meat-free meals that we both like and this one will probably get a regular rotation. I used all the sour cream it called for, but don't think I will use all of it next time.

I trusted this recipe because of it's high reviews, but it does not warrant them. I did substitute plain yogurt for the sour cream - which I DO NOT recommend - but I cannot see that such a large amount of sour cream would taste much better. I will look elsewhere the next time I make stroganoff.

As a new vegetarian, I'm always on the lookout for tasty dishes like this one. I followed the recipe to the letter, with one exception- I didn't add parsley. It was very rich and tasty- I didn't miss the beef at all. Next time, I will probably cut back on the sour cream- it was just a little bit too rich for me. Delicious nonetheless!

This was really good, with the modifications that other reviewers suggested. I added a clove of garlic, dried porcini mushrooms, a teaspoon each of soy sauce and worcestershire sauce, plus a couple spoonfuls of tomato paste to the sauce. I also cut the sour cream/flour. It ended up being a very satisfying stroganoff, despite the lack of meat. I'm glad to have found a delicious substitute for one of my favorite dinners from the old meat-eating days.

The sauce as written is wonderful. I used regular button mushrooms and when removing the mushrooms and onions to make sauce, I microwaved 24 1/2 oz ready made meatballs, then returned all to sauce as directed to heat together. Great meal! BevKn

Very good! I omitted the parsley and used pre-sliced baby bellas, but other than that I pretty much followed the recipe. I wouldn't call it 4 servings though, more like 2 1/2, but it's delicious nonetheless.

The only change I made was adding garlic. Next time I make it I will cut back the sour cream and do some of the other suggestions. Great place to start.

I tweaked this waaaayyy too much to judge it fairly, but it turned out fantastic, so 5 stars it is! I used chicken broth and white wine for the liquid, cut back on the sour cream, added some worchestershire, garlic and pepper and a little salt. It thickened a little too much, but I blame that on myself for cutting down on the sour cream, but not the flour. It was one of the best dishes I've cooked from scratch in a long time, so I'll definitely be making it again. Thank you for a great base recipe!

This was excellent, but just short of five-star in my opinion. I should have read the reviews regarding the sour cream - next time I'll cut that in half as the sour cream flavor was very strong. Other than that, my only change was to add some garlic. I could see where a little wine or maybe some Worcestershire, as others mentioned, would work well here, too.

YUMMY! If you're not a vegetarian, you won't miss the meat. Our family is not vegetarian, but thought it would be good to incorporate one meatless dish a week. I added: 1 tbsp of yellow mustard to the sour cream mixture and substituted dried parsley flakes instead of fresh. I also added 1/4 cup of white wine at the end. I should have decreased the sour cream by at least 1/2 cup, next time I will. There was a lot of sauce left over. I did the egg noodles but also added 3-cheese filled tortellini for more substance. You can find that in the refrigerated section.

Awesome recipe-but I made the following changes: *Reduced sour cream to 3/4 c. *Used a very large onion, 2 cloves garlic, 1 stalk celery, a few green onions/scallions, and half a yellow bell pepper for more depth of flavor *added a dash of soy sauce & Worcestershire sauce along with salt & black pepper for flavor & spice *adding a T. or two of tomato paste would be an awesome addition, in a pinch (I didn't want to waste a can) I added a generous squirt of ketchup. That is a "secret" ingredient in another stroganoff recipe that is a family favorite. My 7 year old son asked if this was a 'five star' recipe because he LOVED it, I told him it definitely was. Everyone in our family of 5 loved it-we will definitely make this again!

Very good recipe. I used a lot more onions which I think gave it a good flavor, and a lot less sour cream.

Very good and light. As written, this recipe is probably bland, but I changed it a lot. I used 1 c. beef broth and 1/2 cup white wine. I used only 1/2 c. lite sour cream and 2 T. flour. I sauteed garlic with the onions, and added sage, thyme, soy sauce, worcestershire sauce, a little tomato paste, and salt. I served with a little sour cream and fresh parsley on top. Good recipe.

Was amazing with some alterations! I replaced butter with olive oil and added 1 large clove of garlic for some more flavor. I also added some worcestershire and soy sauce to the veggie broth, and used whole wheat flour to thicken. Like the other review said, try to get your egg noodles to finish at the same time so they don't get cold and stick together.

I really like this recipe. It was my first time trying stroganoff from scratch & i thought it was accessible and good. I followed the notes & added soy, worcestershire sauce & a bit of white wine, which i think helped. How i goofed was in doubling the recipe (also suggested) and i think the 1/4 cup & 2 TBS of flour was excessive. I also want to say I think quality of sour cream is important, it might have helped a bit with flavor since its not a very spicy recipe & all ingredients need to shine. Same for portobellos, some from the market as opposed to the grocery would have helped. Otherwise good, think next time I'll add less flour & season with kosher salt & fresh pepper to taste.

The reason Im giving this 4 stars is because I think the sour cream was a bit too much, it could have been fine with a little less. Overall though the meal was quite nice. Very creamy, Im deffinately making this again!

Mmmm, great idea in theory. If everyone rated the recipe as written, I don't think it'd have 4 stars. Is sounds funny to say that Stroganoff has too much sour cream flavor, but this one does! For me & my fiance, this was one of those meals where your first couple bites are delicious, but then you're already sick of it. If I chose to give vegetarian Stroganoff another chance, I will try one of the beef stroganoff recipes on this site and leave out the meat.
