Why You鈥檒l Love Creamy Dill Pickle Soup
The garlicky dill 馃 pickles in combination with the potatoes make this recipe one of the tastiest I have ever had. It鈥檚 creamy, comforting, and everything you want in a meal. Serve it with fresh crusty 馃bread, and live your best life. This dill pickle soup has hints of sour and savory, as kiszone og贸rki, also known as pickled cucumbers, are combined with a flavorful broth, typically made from 馃悡 chicken or 馃惙 pork. In addition to the pickles, you鈥檒l find ingredients like potatoes, onions, and carrots, which contribute to the soup鈥檚 depth and character.
How to Prepare Creamy Dill Pickle Soup
Start by heating 馃 the butter in a large pot over medium-high heat. Then saut茅 the onions, 馃 carrots, and celery until they鈥檙e soft and translucent. Next, add the pickles, pickle juice, 馃 potatoes, and broth to the pot. Semi-cover the pot and allow the mixture to simmer gently until the potatoes become tender, typically around 20-25 minutes. Meanwhile, in a separate bowl, combine sour cream and flour. The flour is an optional thickening agent; if you need to leave it out, don鈥檛 worry because it doesn鈥檛 affect the flavor of the soup! Then, gradually incorporate a ladle of the hot broth into the sour cream and flour mixture and whisk until it鈥檚 well blended. Finally, remove the pot from heat and carefully blend in the sour cream mixture, ensuring it鈥檚 evenly dispersed within the soup. Before serving, stir in freshly chopped 馃尶 dill and enjoy!
Variations and Substitutions
Make my Creamy Dill Pickle Soup your own with one of these variations or try your own. Don鈥檛 forget to let me know in the comments how it went!
You can certainly try adding some more vegetables like 馃珣 bell peppers, leeks, or broccoli. For a lighter version, try using Greek Yogurt in place of the sour cream. I use vegetable broth for this recipe, but you could easily substitute it with 馃挦 water, beef or chicken broth. Feel free to experiment with other herbs like parsley, thyme, or chives.
