    Vegan Polish soup with dill pickles and potatoes

    Soups are the best comfort food.

    Today I want to share a recipe of my favorite soup that gets a vegan makeover. I first published a vegetarian Dill Pickle Soup recipe back in 2019.

    It quickly became one of the most popular soups on my blog for a reason.

    Everyone loves pickles. When you add them to a soup, it takes it to a whole new level of deliciousness.

    My original version of Dill Pickle Soup had a sour cream. Although, I could possibly try to use vegan sour cream, one of my Instagram followers suggested another staple vegan ingredient - a coconut milk.

    If you're one of those people who don't love the taste of coconut in recipes, let me reassure you. The amount is so small, you will not even taste it.

    If coconut milk is still an issue, try replacing it with unsweetened oat milk.

    Dill Pickles are definitely a star of this soup and plant milk is just a way to obtain the creamy consistency, making this soup even more delicious.

    Vegan Soup with pickles, potatoes

    📋 Ingredients

    • olive oil - if you follow WFPBNO diet, you can use a vegetable broth
    • vegetables - onion, carrot, potatoes
    • pickles and pickle juice - I use salty dill pickles, not sweet. I don't recommend using pickles form Trader Joe's. They contain too much vinegar which might ruin the taste of the soup
    • vegetable broth. Please note, if you're using a homemade broth, the soup will be lighter in color, similar to my original version
    • coconut milk - I use full fat coconut milk. You can replace with unsweetened oat milk. Or you can also try using vegan sour cream
    • flour - if you're on the Gluten Free diet, you can substitute with ¾ tablespoon of arrowroot or corn starch
    • dill - for serving

    🔪 Instructions

    1. Heat oil or vegetable broth in large pot and over medium heat.
    Add onion and carrot and cook until vegetables begin to soften, approximately 7 minutes. Stir in dill pickles and cook for 3 more minutes. Using a spoon, transfer sautéed vegetables to a clean bowl.

    2. To the same pot add vegetable broth and bring to a boil. Once boiling, add potatoes, reduce heat to medium low and cook for 10 minutes.

    3. Meanwhile, in a small bowl whisk coconut milk, flour and 5 tablespoon of dill pickle juice. Set aside.

    4. To the pot with potatoes, stir in sautéed vegetables, salt, pepper, coconut milk and flour mixture and cook for another 5 minutes or until potatoes are tender when poked with a knife.

    Adjust the seasoning, if needed, add more dill pickle juice and remove soup from the heat. Serve immediately garnished with fresh dill.

    🍞 Serving Suggestion

    This healthy dill pickle soup tastes even better when served with homemade bread. Here're my suggestions:

    • 2-Hour Crusty Bread
    • Oatmeal Loaf
    • No-Yeast Flatbread

    ♨️ Storing And Reheating

    This Dill Pickle Potato Soup tastes best when consumed on the same day.

    However, if you have leftovers, store them in the airtight container for one more day in the refrigerator.

      Why do you say it only keeps for 1 day ? Must be consumed within 24 hours ?

        It can potentially be stored for up to 3 days, however it's most flavorful when consumed on the same day when the tangy flavors are bold and vibrant.

      I found this recipe because I wanted to use up a bunch of dill and potatoes that I acquired from my CSA. The taste was phenomenal and unique; I enjoy tangy foods, and this soup was perfect for a Fall weekend dinner. Some slight changes: I boiled the potatoes in the same pot as the sauteed vegetables and didn't notice a difference in texture. I also used shredded carrots instead of a grater as I didn't have one. If you want to make this soup dairy-free, the same recipe creator has a version using full fat coconut milk. I missed that in the blog section and ended up using a homemade cashew sour cream; it was a great substitute. Thank you for taking the time to create and share!

      This was fantastic! Thank you so much! I have always wanted to try but never found it vegetarian (while I was still veg), let alone vegan in any restaurant. This was definitely restaurant quality! I make a batch of soup once a week now that the weather has cooled, and it will definitely go in my rotation. <3

      DELICIOUS!! I did make it in my IP. I sautés the onions and carrots in broth in my IP then added broth, potatoes and pickles cooked for 6 minutes on high pressure. Quick release, put on sauté, added in the coconut milk, flour, pickle juice slurry, cooked til thickened. Then seasoned to taste. Big hit in our house! Will definitely be making this again! Thank you!
