A comforting Polish Dill Soup that combines fresh dill, vibrant vegetables, and creamy sour cream, perfect for cold days.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 tbsp unsalted butter
- 1 brown onion (finely chopped)
- 2 garlic cloves (minced)
- 3 carrots (peeled and diced)
- 2 scallions (white and light green parts, chopped)
- 1 tsp salt
- 1 tsp black pepper
- 1 tsp dried marjoram
- ¼ tsp ground turmeric
- ¼ tsp ground nutmeg
- 1 bay leaf
- 3 waxy potatoes (diced, about 10 oz)
- ½ cup frozen green peas
- 4 cups chicken broth
- 4 tbsp full-fat sour cream (at room temperature)
- 4 tbsp chopped fresh dill (divided)
Instructions
- Get prepped: Start by dicing the potatoes and carrots, then chop the scallions, onion, garlic, and dill. This prep work will streamline your cooking process.
- Sauté the aromatics: In a large pot, melt the butter over medium-low heat. Add the minced garlic and chopped onion, cooking until the onion softens, about 1 minute.
- Add the veggies: Toss in the diced carrots and scallions and sauté for another 2 minutes. Stir in the salt, pepper, marjoram, turmeric, nutmeg, and bay leaf.
- Incorporate the potatoes and peas: Add the diced potatoes and frozen peas to the pot, pouring in the chicken broth. Raise the heat to high and bring everything to a boil.
- Simmer: Once boiling, cover the pot and reduce the heat to low. Let it simmer for about 15 minutes, allowing the veggies to become tender.
- Finish with creaminess: Remove the pot from heat and stir in the sour cream until well incorporated. Add 3 tablespoons of the dill and cook uncovered for another 5 minutes. Taste your soup and adjust salt and pepper if needed.
- Serve: Ladle the soup into bowls and top with the remaining dill. Enjoy every spoonful!
