Polish Soup With Pickles & Sour Cream

Zupa Orgórkowa (zoo-pah oh-goor-koh-vah) is a slightly tangy vegetable soup for pickle lovers!

Ingredients

  • 8 cups vegetable stock
  • 1 pound potatoes (peeled and quartered)
  • 2 large carrots (peeled and diced)
  • 1 large parsnip peeled and diced
  • 1 rib celery (diced)
  • 6 dill pickles (shredded)
  • 1 cup sour cream
  • fresh dill (chopped) or herbs of choice (optional)

Method

  • In a large saucepan, bring the stock to a boil. Add potatoes, carrots, parsnip, and celery. Return to the boil, reduce heat, and simmer until vegetables are tender.
  • Add pickles and any accumulated juices, and combine well.
  • Temper the sour cream in a small heatproof bowl by adding a few ladles of hot soup and whisking constantly.
  • Transfer the tempered sour cream back to the soup, and heat through until starting to simmer but do not boil or the sour cream will break.
  • Serve hot in heated bowls with chopped fresh herbs and slices of some rustic bread.
