Instructions
1. In a large pot over medium-high heat, melt butter and sauté the onions, carrots, and celery until translucent.
2. Stir in diced pickles, pickle juice, cubed potatoes, and vegetable broth. Adjust salt to taste.
3. Bring the mixture to a boil then reduce heat to low. Simmer for 20–25 minutes until potatoes are soft.

5. Gradually whisk some broth into the sour cream mixture before adding it back into the pot off heat.

Notes
Serve with crusty bread or top with crispy bacon for extra indulgence.
Use full-fat sour cream for best texture and richness.
Taste before adding salt—pickle juice and broth may already provide enough saltiness.
Soup thickens as it cools—add a splash of broth when reheating if needed.
For a vegetarian version, ensure broth and sour cream are plant-based.
