I&#8217;m sure I watched my mom make it when I was growing up. Maybe even helped peel or chop potatoes (maybe.)<\/p>\n<p>This recipe is simple and perfect for preparing after a long day. Not too many ingredients, and doesn&#8217;t take too much time. It could conceivably serve four people, but the two of us ate all of it.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Ingredients:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>3 small chopped yellow onions<\/li>\n<li>2 small chopped rinsed leeks<\/li>\n<li>a splash of oil<\/li>\n<li>1 medium sized carrot<\/li>\n<li>4-5 diced\u00a0potatoes, you can peel them if you want to (I didn&#8217;t)<\/li>\n<li>6 cups of vegetable broth (I used Go Bio&#8217;s veggie broth)<\/li>\n<li>4 large chopped pickles<\/li>\n<li>2-3 cups pickle juice<\/li>\n<li>salt &amp; pepper to taste (the pickles\/pickle juice is already pretty salty)<\/li>\n<li>extra chopped pickles as a garnish<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>Serves 4 (or 1 MeShell, 1 JC)<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Directions<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>I used a heavy dutch oven pot for my soup, but any pot will do. Put it on a burner and turn it to medium. Add onions and leeks,\u00a0stirring occasionally. Wait to add the carrots until the onions are slightly translucent and then throw them in.<\/p>\n<p>You&#8217;ve got a nice pile of potatoes &#8211; add them to the pot after the carrots have had time to saute\u00a0up with the onion for a few minutes.<\/p>\n<p>Pour in your vegetable broth and stir everything together. Bring the whole mixture to boil and add chopped pickles, and pickle juice slowly. Add 1 cup first and taste the broth. You might not like your soup as sour as I do. Know that part of the mix will boil off, so you&#8217;ll end up with a flavourful and slightly more sour broth at the end of it. I added 2-3 cups of pickle juice from the jar.<\/p>\n<p>Let it simmer until the potatoes and carrots are soft and enjoy! You can add a bit of chopped pickle and black pepper to the top as garnish. My mom would also always add some extra bits of chopped dill to the top as well.<\/p>\n<p>Hope you enjoy this, or anyone of the other dozen pickle soup recipes on the internet.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In the middle of the day last night I had this craving for Pickle soup.
