Pickle Soup

Pickle Soup

If you're a pickle fanatic, this one's for you. This vegetarian delight is as hearty as it gets, and guess what? It's gluten-free with a simple switch to potato starch.

We're taking Elliott Bay Seasoning flavors – paprika, bay leaf, cardamom, celery seed, and a hint of clove – a gorgeous complement to those zesty dill pickles. It's a tangy, savory, filling, and a downright satisfying bowl.

Ingredients

  • 2 tablespoons olive oil or butter
  • 1 cup yellow onion, small diced
  • 1 cup carrots, sliced into half moons
  • 1 cup dill pickles, cut into bite-size pieces
  • 3 cups Yukon potatoes, diced
  • 1/3 cup pickle juice
  • 2 teaspoons Elliott Bay Seasoning
  • 1 teaspoon Dill Weed
  • 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup sour cream
  • 3 cups vegetable stock
  • Cornichons or pickle wheels for garnish

Directions

  1. Heat the olive oil or butter in a large pot over medium heat.
  2. Add the diced onions and sliced carrots to the pot. Sauté for about 5 minutes or until the vegetables start to soften and the onions turn translucent.
  3. Stir in the diced Yukon potatoes and chopped dill pickles. Cook for another 5 minutes, allowing the flavors to combine.
  4. Sprinkle the all-purpose flour over the mixture in the pot. Stir well to ensure the flour is evenly distributed and coats the vegetables.
  5. Pour in the vegetable stock and pickle juice. Stir to combine all the ingredients.
  6. Add the Elliott Bay Seasoning and Dill Weed to the pot. Adjust the seasoning to your taste preference. (Please keep in mind that the salt levels of pickle brine vary from brand to brand.)
  7. Allow the soup to simmer for about 10 minutes or until the potatoes are tender.
  8. Reduce the heat to low. Gently stir in the sour cream, creating a creamy base for the soup.
  9. Let the soup cook on low heat for an additional 2-3 minutes, ensuring the sour cream is fully incorporated and heated through.
  10. Serve the pickle soup hot, garnished with cornichons or pickle wheels on top for extra pickle love.
