Prep Time: 15 minutes

Cook Time: 30 minutes

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

Preparation:

1. Melt butter in a large pot. Saute onion until translucent, about 3 minutes.
   
   
2. Add broth, pickles, pickle liquid and potatoes. Bring to a boil, reduce heat and simmer until potatoes are tender, about 20 minutes.
   
   
3. 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.
   
   
4. Serve in heated bowls garnished with chopped fresh dill, if desired.
