This Pickle Soup recipe is one of those recipes you’ll either love or hate. The pickle lovers in your family will go crazy over this, while the pickle-haters will go running screaming toward the hills in horror at the thought.
We were intrigued by the idea when we found the recipe for Pickle Soup on Pinterest and had to give it a try. We have some major pickle lovers in our family (Kiersten, Josiah, and Mom) so we had to make it.
Update: We have made this recipe several times since first posting it (yes, we really like it). While not the healthiest soup, it’s actually doable to plan it into your day.
Pickle Soup
Ingredients
- 5 ½ cups chicken broth
- 2 pounds russet potatoes peeled and quartered
- 2 cups chopped carrots small dice
- 1 cup chopped dill pickles small dice
- ¼ cup butter
- ¾ cup flour
- 1 cup plain, non-fat Greek yogurt or sour cream
- ¼ cup water
- 2 cups dill pickle juice
- 1 ½ tsp Old Bay seasoning reduce or eliminate if it's too spicy for you
- ½ tsp salt taste first, you might not need it
- ½ tsp pepper optional, taste first
- ¼ tsp red cayenne pepper optional, omit if you don't like spicy
Instructions
- In large soup pot, combine broth, potatoes, carrots, and butter. Bring to a boil and cook until potatoes are tender. Add pickles and continue to boil.
- In medium bowl, stir together flour, yogurt and water to make a paste. Vigorously whisk yogurt mixture, a bit at a time, into soup. (This will break up some of the potato which is okay. This will also thicken the soup.)
- Add pickle juice, Old Bay, and peppers. Cook 10-15 minutes more and remove from heat.
- Pickle juice varies in saltiness. Taste the soup after adding pickle juice to determine if more salt is needed.

Adapted from The Noble Pig, Dill Pickle Soup recipe.
The pickle lovers in our family loved this soup. It’s basically a potato soup with pickles and pickle juice. They ate it for dinner and enjoyed the left-overs.
Pickle Soup Variations
While I haven’t tested these yet:
- Replace some of the pickle juice with water if it’s too briny for you. (But in my opinion, the whole point of this soup is all the pickle flavor you can get.)
- I think you could use extra potato instead of flour to make a healthier version,
- Adding 1/2 cup of chopped onion would be good.
What to Serve with Pickle Soup
Here are some delicious sides:
- Two-ingredient dough breadsticks
- Crackers
- Side Salad, Caesar Salad, or Mango Salad
