Ingredients

Scale
  • 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
  • ½ cup pickle juice (adjust to taste)
  • 1 cup sour cream
  • ¼ cup flour
  • 1 teaspoon dried dill or 1 tablespoon fresh dill, chopped
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  • In a large pot, melt butter over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and cook until translucent, about 3-5 minutes.
  • Add minced garlic and sauté for another minute.
  • Pour in the chicken broth, followed by the cubed potatoes and grated carrot. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 15-20 minutes, until the potatoes are tender.
  • Add the grated dill pickles and pickle juice. Stir well and let it simmer for an additional 5 minutes to meld the flavors.
  • In a small bowl, whisk together sour cream and flour until smooth. Temper the sour cream mixture by adding a small amount of hot soup, then stir this mixture back into the pot, whisking continuously to avoid lumps.
  • Continue cooking for 5 more minutes, stirring frequently until the soup thickens.
  • Stir in dill, then season with salt and pepper to taste.
  • Serve hot, garnished with additional fresh dill if desired.

Notes

  • Adjust pickle juice and salt to your taste preferences.
  • Fresh dill works best for a fragrant, vibrant flavor.
  • This soup can be made ahead and reheated for extra flavor.
