Sour potato soup with pickles is a simple homemade soup made with just a few ingredients. The potatoes are cooked in two batches with lard, whole peppercorns, and bay leaf, while chopped pickles and their brine give it its sour flavor. Serve it with bread or rolls. If you prefer a less sour flavor, use just two pickles.
Ingredients
Tick off what you already have at home.
Instructions
Tip: tap a step to mark it as done.
- Peel and dice the potatoes. Place half in a pot, cover with water, and add the lard, whole peppercorns, and bay leaf.
- Once the potatoes are tender, add the remaining half and the chopped pickles, and cook until tender. Thin the soup with the pickle brine.
Tip: It's fine if the first half of the potatoes falls apart, as this naturally thickens the soup. Pickle brine is salty, so add salt only after adding the brine and tasting the soup.
