Instant Pot Dill Pickle Soup
This delicious soup recipe is brought you by special request from my friend, Shauna! For true dill pickle fans only, this Instant Pot Dill Pickle Soup is rich, tangy and flavorful.
Instant Pot Dill Pickle Soup Recipe
Dill Pickle Soup (Zupa Ogórkowa) is a traditional Polish soup made with potatoes, sour pickles and plenty of sour cream.
It’s rich, creamy and tangy with slightly sour notes. It’s very similar to a potato soup, but with a distinct pickle flavor that will make your mouth pucker.
I’m not a huge fan of sour pickles so we opted for our personal favorite – Dill Pickles.
I also wanted a bit more protein in our soup, so we cooked up some sausages to add another dimension of flavor and texture to the soup. You can skip adding the sausages, if you prefer.
Can you freeze this Dill Pickle Soup? Yes! Store in airtight freezer containers and allow to thaw completely before gently reheating. You can store this soup in the freezer for up to three months. (This set of freezer containers is a crazy bargain.)
Can this Dill Pickle Soup be made in the Crockpot? Yes, but unlike my favorite crockpot soups, this recipe involves adding ingredients at specific stages and is not one that you can simply “dump” all of the ingredients in and let it do it’s thing. If you want to adapt this recipe for the crockpot, the cook time is all that will change to be 3 hours on high or 5-6 hours on low. Add the pickles at the halfway mark and you will need to stir in the sour cream thickener at the end.

You have a picture of fresh dill but it is not mentioned in the recipe. At least I do not think so. Is the dill just for garnish or is it part of the recipe?
Hi Barbara,
We just used it as a garnish. (Mostly to communicate in the pictures what the flavor profile would be because just to look at the plain soup, most people would assume it’s just potato-flavored – which it most definitely isn’t!)
