OGóRKOWA: POLISH DILL PICKLE SOUP ON VEAL



Ogórkowa: Polish Dill Pickle Soup on Veal image

'Ogórkowa' is a delicious soup soured with grated dill pickles and pickle juice. The soup is full of aromas of dill, garlic and horseradish. All of these flavours are coming directly from sour cucumbers, slowly fermented in brine.

Time 2h30m

Number Of Ingredients 16

3 medium (approx. 6 oz, 170 g) carrots
3 medium (approx. 6 oz, 170 g) parsley roots
1/4 (approx. 4 oz, 120 g) celery root
1 leek (the white part)
1.5 lb (0.7 kg) veal on the bone - can be swapped for pork ribs, or poultry (wings, legs etc)
12 cups (3 litres) water
2 bay leaves
3 all-spice berries
5-6 medium dill pickles in brine
2 tbsp butter
4 medium (approx. 13 oz, 370 g) potatoes
dill pickle juice
10 fl oz (300 ml) sour cream, 18% fat (can be replaced with natural yoghurt)
2-3 tbsp dill, chopped
Salt, to taste
Black pepper, to taste

Steps:

  • Peel the vegetables, chop roughly into large pieces. If your meat is in one big piece, divide it a bit as well.
  • Place all the veggies and the meat in a large cooking pot (I use a 5 qt / 5 litres pot).
  • Pour the water in (enough to cover all the ingredients), and bring it to boil. Reduce the heat, add the spices and cook slowly. If scum appears, get rid of it with a slotted spoon.
  • Peel the pickles, grate them on a box grater (large holes). If you're using a food processor, make sure the pickles won't turn into 'mush'.
  • Melt butter in a small pot, add grated pickles, cover with a lid. Braise them for 8-10 minutes or so, stirring occasionally. make sure they don't stick to the pot.
  • Let's check the main pot. When the meat comes off the bone (it can take 1,5 to 2 hours), take the soup off the heat. Gently pour the stock through a sieve into another pot.
  • Peel 4 medium potatoes, chop them into cubes and add to the stock. Cook for 20 minutes on medium heat, until potatoes are almost soft.
  • Add grated pickles and a few tablespoons of pickle juice. Have a taste - add more juice if you feel that the soup needs it.
  • Add selected meat pieces, you can also add sliced carrot and parsley we've cooked.
  • Grab a small pot of sour cream, add some hot stock into it. Mix well with a fork, then add some more stock, mix again. Then add that creamy mixture into the soup.
  • Add chopped dill and season with salt and pepper. Have a taste and add more seasoning if needed.

Tips:

  • Use fresh dill. Fresh dill is essential for this soup, as it provides the best flavor. If you can't find fresh dill, you can use dried dill, but it won't be as flavorful.
  • Don't overcook the vegetables. The vegetables should be cooked until they are tender but still have a slight crunch. Overcooking the vegetables will make them mushy.
  • Use a good quality chicken broth. The chicken broth is the base of this soup, so it's important to use a good quality broth. You can use homemade chicken broth or a store-bought broth that is low in sodium.
  • Season the soup to taste. This soup is very versatile, so you can season it to your own taste. Add more salt, pepper, or dill as needed.

Conclusion:

Zosia's Polish Dill Pickle Soup is a delicious and refreshing soup that is perfect for a hot summer day. It's also a great way to use up leftover dill pickles.
