Ingredients
Soup Base
- 1 tbsp butter
- 1 onion, chopped
- 2 carrots, sliced
- 3 medium potatoes, diced
- 4 cups vegetable broth
Flavorings
- ¾ cup chopped dill pickles
- ½ cup pickle juice
- ½ cup sour cream
- 1 tbsp fresh dill
- Salt & pepper to taste
Instructions
- Sauté Vegetables: In a large pot, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and sliced carrots, cooking them for about 5 minutes until they soften and become fragrant.
- Simmer Soup: Add the diced potatoes, vegetable broth, chopped dill pickles, and pickle juice to the pot. Bring the mixture to a boil, then lower the heat to a simmer. Cook for 15-20 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender and cooked through.
- Add Creaminess and Fresh Dill: Stir in the sour cream and fresh dill thoroughly to combine. You can choose to partially blend the soup at this stage for a creamier texture or leave it chunky according to your preference.
- Season and Serve: Taste the soup and season with salt and pepper as desired. Serve the soup warm to enjoy its comforting and tangy flavors.
Notes
- Partially blending the soup creates a creamy texture while leaving it chunky preserves the bite of the vegetables.
- Use fresh dill for the best flavor, but dried dill can be substituted if necessary.
- Adjust the amount of pickle juice depending on how tangy you like your soup.
- For a richer flavor, you can substitute sour cream with crème fraîche or Greek yogurt.
