    Must Try Monday! Today is National Homemade Soup Day, the perfect excuse to try this creamy Polish Pickle Soup!

    Ingredients:

    2 tablespoons butter
    1 medium onion, halved and sliced
    4 cups chicken or vegetable broth
    4 large garlic dill pickles, about 3 cups chopped
    2/3 cup liquid from pickle jar or water
    4 large potatoes, peeled and cut into 1/2-inch cubes
    2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
    1 cup sour cream
    Salt and black pepper
    Sugar to taste, if desired
    Chopped fresh dill for garnish, if desired

    Preparation:

    Melt butter in a large pot. Saute onion until translucent, about 3 minutes.

    Add broth, pickles, pickle liquid and potatoes. Bring to a boil, reduce heat and simmer until potatoes are tender, about 20 minutes.

    Blend flour with sour cream. Temper sour cream mixture with a little hot soup. Pour tempered sour cream into hot soup, whisking constantly until it comes to a boil. Reduce heat to low and simmer 3 minutes or until slightly thickened. Adjust seasoning, adding sugar if desired. Note:At this point, the soup can be left chunky or pureed to the velvety consistency of vichyssoise.

    Serve in heated bowls garnished with chopped fresh dill, if desired.
