I had a few requests for this recipe... You can add or delete items and you can play with meats and seasonings... Many people eat this without any meat. It is easy to make and enjoy! You can substitute the sour cream with canned tomatoes (amount doesn't really matter), and you can add Polish Sausage cut up instead of the bacon or ham. You can add colored bell peppers and carrots for color... This recipe is a kind of Polish Chili! Play with your food!

How To Make polish pickle soup! or polish chili !

Step 1

Saute the onions in the butter about 4 minutes over medium heat until translucent (be sure not to burn!).

Step 2

.
Step 3

Add potatoes and half the broth. Cook 10 minutes. Add remaining broth, pickles, pickle juice, sugar and seasonings.
Step 4

Use Garlic Dill Pickles..... This photo is my home canned Garlic Dill Pickles with red peppers..... both are good.
Step 5

Cook 10 minutes with the lid on the pot. Remove lid, take out 1/2 cup of broth, slowly stir the broth into a bowl with the sour cream. Slowly add sour cream mixture into soup pot stirring constantly. If you want the soup thicker, add together the optional cornstarch and water in a bowl or a cup. When well mixed, slowly add to the soup pot (stirring constantly). When thickened, remove from heat. Stir in the optional bacon or ham and serve. At this time you can garnish with a sprig of fresh dill (optional)
