Zosia's Polish Dill Pickle Soup

Well, reading the reviews kinda surprised me at first. They were mostly negative. So i thought i would use them to "tweek" this recipe before i made it. I used three cups of potatoes instead of two...cut into very small cubes and used a whole cup of half and half instead of a half cup of milk..and added one more spoon of flour. Also i increased the sour cream to 8 ounces and all i can say is "WOW"!!! the recipe has the right ingredients and method...just needed an adjustment. I have been going to polish village for 20 years and i applaud them...this soup the way i made it is probably as close as you can get without actually going there!!!

I absolutely love the Polish Village Cafe and everything they serve, including the Dill Pickle Soup! I agree that theirs is creamier, so I 3X's the milk content using 3/4c of milk and 3/4c of heavy cream - that gave it the right creaminess. I also increased the flour to 3TB. Not sure what role the egg plays in the soup, but I do have to say my overall consistency was a bit too thick, but that could be my error on letting it thicken too long. It also had a slight grainy texture, but again maybe my error somehwere in the cooking process! Love this stuff! Goes great with fresh rye bread and homemade pierogies on the side!

I eat at Polish Village Cafe A LOT and this isn't even close to their recipe. This is more broth based and the restaurant is more cream based. The recipe also needs a little more potatoes. I had other people in my family taste it for comparison, but I'm sorry NOTHING comes close! :/

Terrible Dill pickle Soup Recipe! Not enough potatoes or pickles. To get a truly tasty soup you use some of the the pickle brine. Nothing like Polish Village Cafe.

I am not Polish, but I think dill pickles should be their own food group. This soup is awesome for the dill pickle lover!

excellent soup! great for pot lucks, you will be asked to share the recipe so bring copies with you. tastes exactly like the dill pickle soup served at the Polish Village Cafe in Hamtramck, also known as Zosia's (the restaurant in the basement)
