Throw it on Thursday - Zupa Ogórkowa (Best Pickle Soup You’ll Ever Taste)

Dill Pickle Soup (Zupa Ogórkowa)


Polish creamy dill pickle soup or zupa ogórkowa (ZOO-pah oh-goorr-KOH-vah)

Recipe.

The original pickle soup is traditionally made with grated vegetables. I prefer finely chopped.

Chicken stock can be used instead of the traditional vegetable stock.

Ingredients:

1 tablespoon olive oil
½ medium onion chopped
2 carrot chopped
2 celery stalks chopped
2 medium potatoes chopped
3-4 small pickles chopped
¼ cup pickle juice
4 cups of Vegetable stock
2 tablespoons chopped fresh dill
2 tablespoons of Sour Cream
1 tablespoon of flour
2 tablespoons cream (or milk)
Salt and pepper to taste
Optional: ¼ lb Smoked Polish Kielbasa

Directions:

Heat olive oil in a small stock pot over medium heat
Add the onions, carrots, celery
Sauté until onions are soft.
Add the chopped pickles and the pickle juice and cook for a few minutes. Add the vegetable stock and simmer for 10 minutes. Add fresh chopped dill and simmer until vegetables are fork tender.

Combined the sour cream, flour and cream to make a slurry

Add the slurry to the soup to thicken.
Optionally add Kielbasa.
Cook for 5 minutes.

Serve in a bowl with a little fresh dill.
