This creamy dill pickle soup combines tangy dill pickles, hearty potatoes, and rich cream for a comforting and unique bowl of flavor — perfect for any season.
Gather all your ingredients before starting to ensure a smooth cooking process.
Heat a splash of oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add onion and garlic; sauté until fragrant and translucent (about 3–4 minutes).
Add the diced potatoes and stir briefly before pouring in the vegetable broth.
Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat and simmer for 15–20 minutes until potatoes are tender.
Stir in the diced dill pickles and cook for another 5 minutes to infuse the flavor.
Lower the heat and add heavy cream and fresh dill. Stir gently to combine.
Season with salt and pepper to taste, then let the soup warm through without boiling for 3–5 minutes.
Serve hot, garnished with extra dill or a dollop of sour cream if desired.
Notes
To make it vegan, replace heavy cream with coconut or oat cream. Add a splash of pickle juice for extra tang. Avoid boiling after adding cream to prevent curdling.
