Polish Pickle Soup! or Polish Chili ! image

I had a few requests for this recipe... You can add or delete items and you can play with meats and seasonings... Many people eat this without any meat. It is easy to make and enjoy! You can substitute the sour cream with canned tomatoes (amount doesn't really matter), and you can add Polish Sausage cut up instead of the bacon...

At this time you can garnish with a sprig of fresh dill (optional)

This soup is a great make-ahead meal. You can make it the day before and then just reheat it when you're ready to serve.
