Ingredients

Scale

Base Ingredients

  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 medium onion, diced
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 4 cups vegetable broth

Vegetables and Pierogi

  • 2 medium potatoes, diced
  • 1 cup carrots, sliced
  • 1 cup frozen pierogi (potato and cheese or your choice)

Seasonings

  • 1 cup fresh dill, chopped
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper

Optional Toppings

  • 1/2 cup sour cream (optional for serving)

Instructions

  1. Sauté the aromatics: In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced onion and sauté for about 5 minutes until translucent, creating a flavorful base.
  2. Add garlic: Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional 1 minute until fragrant to enhance the soup’s aroma.
  3. 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 and let it simmer gently for 10 to 15 minutes until the vegetables become tender.
  4. Cook the pierogi: Add the frozen pierogi directly into the pot and cook for an additional 5 to 7 minutes, until they are fully heated through and tender.
  5. Season and finish: Stir in the freshly chopped dill along with salt and black pepper. Taste and adjust the seasoning as needed to balance flavors.
  6. Serve: Ladle the soup into bowls and top with a dollop of sour cream if desired for a creamy, tangy contrast.

Notes

  • You can use any flavor of frozen pierogi, but potato and cheese is traditional and works best for this soup.
  • Fresh dill provides the best flavor; however, dried dill can be used as a substitute. Use about 1 tablespoon if using dried.
  • For a richer soup, you can add a splash of cream along with or instead of the sour cream topping.
  • Leftovers can be refrigerated for up to 3 days and reheated gently on the stovetop.
