- ½ cup pickle juice
Pickle Ingredients
- ¾ cup chopped dill pickles
Dairy and Fats
- 1 tbsp butter
- ½ cup sour cream
Herbs and Seasoning
- 1 tbsp fresh dill

Instructions
- Sauté Aromatics: In a large pot, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and sliced carrots, sautéing for about 5 minutes until they become soft and fragrant.
- Simmer Vegetables and Pickles: Add the diced potatoes, vegetable broth, chopped dill pickles, and pickle juice to the pot. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to a simmer. Let it cook for 15-20 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender and cooked through.
- Add Cream and Dill: Stir in the sour cream and fresh dill thoroughly. You can choose to partially blend the soup at this stage using an immersion blender to achieve a creamy texture or leave it chunky for a more rustic feel.
- Season and Serve: Taste the soup and season with salt and pepper as needed. Serve the soup warm, allowing the tangy and comforting flavors to shine through.
Notes
- For a thicker, creamier soup, partially blend after adding sour cream and dill.
- Use fresh dill for the best herbal flavor; dried dill can be substituted but use sparingly.
- Adjust the amount of pickle juice depending on your preferred level of tanginess.
- This soup pairs well with crusty bread or a light salad for a complete meal.
