Ingredients
  

  • 4 cups chicken or vegetable broth
  • 1 cup dill pickles finely chopped
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter
  • 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup sour cream
  • 1 cup milk
  • 1 white onion finely chopped
  • 3 celery stalks finely chopped
  • 1 large carrot finely chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • 2 large potatoes diced
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Fresh dill for garnish
  • 1/4-1 cup pickle juice optional, for extra flavor

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 425 degrees Fahrenheit.
  • Dice potatoes into small cubes and place on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
  • Drizzle potatoes with olive oil then season with salt and pepper and roast in preheated oven for 20-30 minutes until golden brown and crispy.
  • Finely chop the dill pickles, onion, carrot, celery, and mince the garlic.
  • In a large pot, melt the butter over medium heat. Add chopped onions, carrot, celery, and garlic, sauté until softened.
  • Sprinkle flour over the sautéed onions and garlic. Stir constantly to create a roux. Cook for 2-3 minutes to eliminate the raw flour taste.
  • Gradually whisk in the chicken or vegetable broth, ensuring there are no lumps from the roux.
  • Add roasted potatoes and chopped pickles to the pot. If you want an extra pickle flavor, you can add in pickle juice. Start with 1/4 cup then taste and add more if desired.
  • Bring the soup to a simmer for about 10-15 minutes to allow the flavors to merry.
  • In a separate bowl, whisk together sour cream and milk until smooth. Gradually add this mixture to the soup, stirring constantly.
  • Season the soup with salt and pepper to taste. Adjust the pickle flavor and acidity by adding more pickle juice if desired.
  • Ladle the creamy pickle soup into bowls and garnish with fresh dill.
  • Serve the creamy pickle soup hot and enjoy the unique and tangy flavor!
