Mix in the broth and spices. Simmer for 30 minutes.

In a separate dish, heat the butter and add the flour. Prepare a roux, then add in a quarter cup of cold milk, followed by another quarter cup. Pour into the mushroom soup. Simmer for 15 minutes, adjust thickness with more milk if necessary. Adjust salt level to taste. Add in Sriracha for the last few minutes.
