This is wonderful!

DILL PICKLE SOUP

8 c. chicken stock or broth
2 chicken bouillon cubes
2 medium carrots, coarsely grated
2 c. peeled, cubed potatoes
1 c. thinly sliced celery
5 coarsely grated Polish dill pickles (from the jar)
1/2 c. milk
2 T. flour
1 egg
5 T. sour cream
salt and pepper to taste
finely chopped fresh parsley (optional)
finely chopped fresh dill (optional)

In a large saucepan or soup pot with cover, combine chicken stock, bouillon, carrots, potatoes and celery. Bring to a boil, reduce heat and cook covered, over low heat, til potatoes start to get soft (about 10 minutes). Do not over cook. Add pickles and continue cooking about 15 minutes. In a small bowl, beat milk and flour til smooth and stir in a small amount of the hot soup (to temper) and add to soup. Bring to the boil and cook til slightly thickened. Remove from heat. In a small bowl, beat egg with sour cream til smooth and stir in a small amount of the hot soup. Add to soup and stir til smooth. Keep soup warm but DO NOT BOIL (the soup will curdle). Add salt and pepper to taste and garnish with parsley and dill.

makes 10 servings

I've never even heard of such a thing. lol I didn't think I'd like dill pickle potato chips and love them, so maybe I'd like this soup too.

Thank you.

I've been using Dill Pickles in a lot of recipes lately! Have you ever tried adding pickle relish to meatloaf? I's very tasty!

My dks love dill pickles......they eat them like they were candy and I can't keep them in the house! This soup looks really good and it will be interesting to see if my dks eat it!
