Ingredients:

Here are the ingredients you need to make this Polish-inspired dill pickle soup recipe:

Ingredient Notes: 

Potatoes: Waxy potatoes or boiling potatoes stand up well in soups and stews the best due to their thin skin. They are also high in moisture and low in starch which means they hold together better. 

Pickles: Use dill pickles in this recipe. Don’t use any other type. You want that dill taste to compliment the fresh dill in this recipe. Pickles, like other fermented foods, can be great for your gut health and are rich in vitamins. 

Dill: I could bathe in the scent of dill. It’s seriously so good! Fresh dill is rich in antioxidants and a good source of vitamin C, magnesium, and vitamin A.

Herbaland Apple Cider Vinegar Gummies: Not a direct ingredient in this soup but something I love to pair with my lunch every day because they’re so good for you. Taking apple cider vinegar shots can be rough so the gummies are a great way to get the benefits of the antioxidants. 

How do you make dill pickle soup?
