Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 cups chicken or vegetable broth
  • 1 cup dill pickle juice
  • 4 medium potatoes, peeled and diced
  • 1 medium onion, finely chopped
  • 2 carrots, grated
  • 3 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1 cup dill pickles, chopped
  • 1 cup sour cream or heavy cream
  • 3 tbsp all-purpose flour
  • 1 tbsp olive oil or butter
  • 1 tsp dried dill (or 2 tbsp fresh dill, chopped)
  • Salt and pepper, to taste

Instructions

1. Cook the Vegetables

  1. Heat the olive oil or butter in a large pot over medium heat.
  2. Sauté the onion and garlic until softened and fragrant, about 3–4 minutes.
  3. Add the grated carrots and cook for another 2 minutes.

2. Add Broth and Potatoes

  1. Pour in the chicken or vegetable broth and bring to a boil.
  2. Add the diced potatoes and reduce the heat to a simmer. Cook for 15–20 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender.

3. Thicken the Soup

  1. In a small bowl, whisk together the sour cream and flour until smooth.
  2. Ladle a bit of the hot broth into the sour cream mixture and whisk to temper it.
  3. Slowly pour the mixture back into the soup, stirring constantly to prevent lumps.

4. Add Pickles and Pickle Juice

  1. Stir in the chopped dill pickles and pickle juice.
  2. Add the dried or fresh dill, then simmer for an additional 5–7 minutes to blend the flavors.

5. Adjust Seasoning and Serve

  1. Taste the soup and adjust the seasoning with salt and pepper as needed.
  2. Serve hot, garnished with fresh dill or a dollop of sour cream if desired.

Notes

  • Texture: For a smoother soup, blend part of the soup before adding the pickles and pickle juice.
  • Pickle Variety: Use your favorite dill pickles, but avoid sweet pickles for the best flavor.
  • Storage: Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently on the stovetop.
