Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 medium onion, diced
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 4 cups vegetable broth
- 2 medium potatoes, diced
- 1 cup carrots, sliced
- 1 cup frozen potato and cheese pierogi (or your choice)
- 1 cup fresh dill, chopped
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
Optional Garnish
- 1/2 cup sour cream for serving
Instructions
- Sauté Onion: In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced onion and sauté for about 5 minutes until it becomes translucent, softening and bringing out its natural sweetness.
- Add Garlic: Stir in the minced garlic and continue cooking for an additional 1 minute until fragrant, ensuring it does not burn.
- Add Broth and Vegetables: Pour in the vegetable broth, then add the diced potatoes and sliced carrots. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to a simmer. Cook uncovered for 10-15 minutes or until the potatoes and carrots are tender when pierced with a fork.
- Cook Pierogi: Add the frozen pierogi to the pot. Allow the soup to cook for an additional 5-7 minutes, so the pierogi heat through and become tender but hold their shape.
- Season and Add Dill: Stir in the freshly chopped dill along with salt and black pepper. Taste and adjust seasoning as needed to balance flavor.
- Serve: Ladle the hot soup into bowls and optionally top each serving with a dollop of sour cream for a creamy, tangy finish.
Notes
- You can use any variety of pierogi, but potato and cheese works best for this soup’s flavor.
- Adjust the amount of dill according to your preference for its bright, herbaceous flavor.
- For a richer soup, you can add a splash of cream instead of sour cream as garnish.
- This soup can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days and reheated gently on the stovetop.
