Ingredients

  • 1 tablespoon butter
  • 1 large onion, finely chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 4 cups chicken broth
  • 2 large potatoes, peeled and cubed
  • 1 large carrot, grated
  • 1 cup dill pickles, grated
  • 1/2 cup pickle juice (adjust to taste)
  • 1 cup sour cream
  • 1/4 cup flour
  • 1 teaspoon dried dill or 1 tablespoon fresh dill, chopped
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  • In a large pot, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and cook until translucent, about 3-5 minutes. Add garlic and sauté for another minute.
  • Pour in the chicken broth and add the cubed potatoes and grated carrot. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 15-20 minutes, or until potatoes are tender.
  • Add the grated dill pickles and pickle juice, stirring well. Let it simmer for 5 more minutes to blend the flavors.
  • In a small bowl, whisk together the sour cream and flour. Slowly temper with some hot soup, then stir back into the pot, whisking continuously to avoid lumps.
  • Simmer for an additional 5 minutes until the soup thickens.
  • Add dill and season with salt and pepper to taste. Serve hot, garnished with fresh dill if desired.

Notes

  • Add more pickles: Adjust the pickle flavor by adding more grated pickles or pickle juice.
  • Cream variation: For a richer version, substitute sour cream with heavy cream.
  • Vegetarian option: Use vegetable broth instead of chicken broth for a vegetarian-friendly soup.
  • Protein addition: Add shredded chicken or sausage for extra protein.
