Ingredients

  • 1lb of Bacon
  • 1 Large Onion
  • 6 Cups of Chicken Stock
  • 2 Cups Dill Pickle Juice
  • 5 Russet Potatoes
  • 2 Cups Chopped Carrots
  • 1 1/2 Cups Dill Pickles
  • 1/2 Cup Unsalted Butter
  • 1/2 cup All-Purpose Flour
  • 1 Cup Sour Cream

Method

  1. Prepare your veggies. Dice carrots, dice onion, dice pickles, and peel and chop potatoes.
  2. Chop your bacon and add to a cold frying pan. Bring the pan up to heat until the bacon is cooked to your desired doneness (I cooked until slightly crispy).
  3. Remove your bacon bits from the pan and pour the fat into a large soup pot.
  4. Add diced onion to the pot and cook in the bacon fat until translucent and fragrant.
  5. Combine chicken broth, pickle juice, diced pickles, diced carrots, chopped potatoes, and butter in the pot.
  6. Bring to a boil and cook until the potatoes are tender.
  7. Once tender, turn the pot to low so it simmers.
