Hands down this is the best dill pickle soup recipe I have found. It’s creamy, with all that pickle flavour and loaded with potatoes and carrots. It’s perfect for those cooler Spring nights, to keep you warm, but let’s be honest, this soup is a pickle lovers dream.
I used homemade turkey broth, but you can use chicken stock, or even vegetable stock. Make sure to keep the pickle brine, as it is needed to make this pickly soup. This recipe makes a big batch of it, but fear not – you can freeze this soup. I always have a couple of servings in the freezer for those nights I need a pickle fix.
What you will need:
- 4 1/2 cups turkey bone broth
- 1 cup water
- 2 lbs russet potatoes; washed, peeled and diced into 1/2 inch cubes
- 2 cups diced carrots
- 3 large dill pickles; diced
- 1/2 cup salted butter
- scant 1/2 cup all purpose flour
- 1 cup sour cream
- 1/4 cup water
- 1 3/4 cups pickle juice (brine from a jar of pickles)
- 1 1/2 tsp Old Bay Seasoning
- 1/2 tsp fresh cracked pepper
- 1 Tbsp of your favorite Hot Sauce
In a large pot, bring the stock, water, potatoes, carrots and butter to a boil and cook until the potatoes are fork tender.
Add in the pickles and continue to cook.
In a small bowl combine the flour, water and sour cream together to make a thick rue. Place a large spoonful into the soup and whisk.
Continue adding the rue and whisking until everything is combined. Do not worry about lumps, they will cook out.
Once everything is combined, add in the pickle juice, seasonings and your favorite hot sauce. Bring to a boil again.
Cook for an additional 10 minutes and then serve with fresh buns.
Freeze for for to three months
