Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 1 medium Yellow onion, diced
- 3 cloves Minced garlic
- 3 large Russet potatoes, peeled and cubed
- 4 cups Chicken broth
- 1 cup Pickle juice
- 1.5 cups Dill pickles, shredded
- 1.5 tablespoons All-purpose flour
- 1 cup Heavy cream
- 2 tablespoons Fresh dill, chopped
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper
- 0.5 cup Sour cream (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
In a large pot, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the diced onion and sauté until softened, about 5 minutes. Stir in the minced garlic and cook for 1 more minute.
Add the cubed potatoes to the pot, then pour in the chicken broth. Bring the mixture to a boil over high heat, then reduce the heat to medium-low and simmer for 15-20 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender.
Stir in the pickle juice and shredded dill pickles. Let the soup simmer for an additional 5 minutes to combine the flavors.
In a small mixing bowl, whisk together the flour and heavy cream until smooth. Slowly pour this mixture into the pot, stirring constantly to avoid lumps. Simmer for 5 minutes to allow the soup to thicken.
Add the fresh dill, salt, and black pepper to the pot. Taste and adjust the seasoning, if needed.
Serve the soup hot in bowls, optionally topped with a dollop of sour cream for extra creaminess. Garnish with an additional sprinkle of fresh dill, if desired.
