Ingredients

• 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
• 1 medium yellow onion, finely diced
• 3 garlic cloves, minced
• 2 medium carrots, peeled and diced
• 2 medium russet potatoes, peeled and diced
• 1.5 cups dill pickles, grated (plus extra slices for garnish, optional)
• 1 cup pickle brine
• 4 cups chicken or vegetable broth
• 0.5 cup heavy cream
• 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon dried dill
• 0.5 teaspoon ground black pepper
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 2 tablespoons fresh dill, chopped (optional for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

In a large pot over medium heat, melt the unsalted butter.

Step 2

Add the diced yellow onion and sauté for 3-4 minutes until softened.

Step 3

Stir in the minced garlic and sauté for another 1 minute until fragrant.

Step 4

Add the diced carrots and russet potatoes to the pot and stir to coat with the butter mixture.

Step 5

Pour in the chicken or vegetable broth and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to a simmer and cook for 15 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender.

Step 6

While the vegetables are cooking, stir together the heavy cream and all-purpose flour in a small bowl to make a thickening mixture.

Step 7

Once the potatoes are cooked through, add the grated dill pickles, pickle brine, dried dill, salt, and black pepper. Stir well to combine.

Step 8

Gradually whisk in the cream and flour mixture, ensuring no lumps form. Allow the soup to simmer for another 5 minutes, stirring frequently, until it thickens slightly.

Step 9

Taste the soup and adjust seasoning as needed. Add more pickle brine for extra tanginess if desired.

Step 10

Ladle the soup into bowls and garnish with fresh dill and pickle slices, if using. Serve warm and enjoy!
