Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 large onion finely diced
- 2 large carrots finely diced
- 2 small garlic cloves thinly sliced
- 1-1/2 lb. russet potatoes peeled and cubed into small cubes
- 5 medium dill pickles (3-1/2 - 4” long each), finely diced
- 4 cups vegetable broth
- 1 cup pickle juice
- 1 cup sour cream
- 1 bunch fresh dill finely chopped
- Sea salt and black pepper to taste
Instructions
- In a large soup pot or Dutch oven, heat olive oil over medium heat.
- Add onion, carrots, and garlic. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
- Cook, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables become translucent and fragrant, approximately 4-5 minutes.
- Stir in the potatoes and pickles. Cook just until the potatoes start to sizzle, another 1-2 minutes.
- Add vegetable broth and pickle juice. Increase heat to high and bring the soup to a boil. As soon as it comes to a boil, immediately reduce the heat to medium-low and allow the soup to simmer until the potatoes are completely cooked and tender, approximately 20-25 minutes.
- To help thicken the soup, lightly mash some of the potatoes against the side of the pot using a spoon.
- Stir in the sour cream and fresh dill. Taste and adjust the seasoning as needed.
- Enjoy!
