Dill Pickle Soup
Description
Dill Pickle Soup combines sautéed onions, carrots, and celery cooked in butter until tender, then simmered with potatoes, diced dill pickles, and pickle juice in vegetable or chicken stock. The potatoes soften to a tender bite while pickles and juice add a pronounced tang. Stirring in sour cream with fresh dill enriches the broth, adding creaminess and herbal notes. The soup is served garnished with additional sour cream and dill sprigs for visual appeal and enhanced flavor.
The softened vegetables create a gentle base, while the potatoes provide body and the pickles offer texture and acidity. This soup can be served as a starter or light meal, pairing well with simple bread or crackers.
Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon butter
- 1 onion diced
- 2 carrot peeled and diced, medium

- 1 cup sour cream (200g)
- 3 tablespoons dill fresh, finely chopped
- ½ teaspoon salt or to taste
- ½ teaspoon black pepper or to taste
Garnish

Instructions
- Melt the butter in a soup pot over a medium heat, then stir in the diced onion, carrot and celery. Cook, stirring often, for 5 minutes or until the vegetables are soft but not browned. Stir in the garlic for a further minute.
- Stir in the stock, potatoes, pickles and pickle juice, increase the heat and bring to the boil, then reduce the heat and simmer for 15 minutes or until the potatoes are cooked.
- Stir the sour cream with ½ cup of the hot soup (so it doesn’t ‘split’ when added), then stir it all into the soup, along with the chopped dill.
- Serve topped with a little sour cream and sprigs of dill.
