Equipment

Cutting board
Chef’s knife
Vegetable peeler
5-quart pot with a heavy bottom
Wooden stirring spoon
Potato masher

Ingredients

4 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 large yellow onion peeled and chopped (or 3 small onions)
2 large carrots peeled and chopped
2 large stalks celery chopped
5 large cloves garlic peeled and crushed
1 pound yellow potatoes peeled and cubed into 1/2-inch pieces
1 cup diced dill pickles see Note
4 cups chicken stock or vegetable stock
3/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
3 dried whole allspice berries or 1 pinch ground allspice
3/4 cup sour cream
1/4 cup dill pickle juice see Note
3 tablespoons minced fresh dill

Serving Suggestions:

Sour cream for garnish
Fresh dill for garnish
Sourdough bread buttered

Instructions

Add the butter to a 5-quart pot over medium heat. Once the butter is mostly melted, stir in the onion, carrot, and celery. Cook until the vegetables are starting to soften, about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally. Add the garlic and cook for 30 seconds, stirring constantly.
Add the potato, dill pickle, chicken stock, salt, black pepper, and allspice, and stir. Turn up the heat to bring the soup to a boil, and then turn the heat down so the soup simmers, cover the pot, and cook until the vegetables are softened but not mushy, about 10 minutes.
Use a potato masher to coarsely mash some of the vegetables. This will help thicken the soup.
Remove from the heat and stir in the sour cream, dill pickle juice, and minced fresh dill. Taste and add additional salt and black pepper if desired.
Serve.

Dill Pickles and Dill Pickle Juice: Make sure to use a sour dill pickle that isn’t overly vinegary for this recipe. I like to use half-sour pickles here.
