Ingredients

Scale

Sauté Base

  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 medium onion, diced
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced

Soup

  • 4 cups vegetable broth
  • 2 medium potatoes, diced
  • 1 cup carrots, sliced
  • 1 cup frozen pierogi (potato and cheese or your choice)
  • 1 cup fresh dill, chopped
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper

Optional

  • 1/2 cup sour cream, 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 and soft, stirring occasionally to prevent burning.
  2. Add Garlic: Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional 1 minute until fragrant, making sure not to let the garlic brown.
  3. Add Vegetables and Broth: Pour in the vegetable broth, then add the diced potatoes and sliced carrots. Bring the mixture to a boil over high heat, then reduce heat to low and let it simmer gently for 10-15 minutes until the potatoes and carrots are tender when pierced with a fork.
  4. Add Pierogi: Add the frozen pierogi to the pot and cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the pierogi are heated through and soft.
  5. Season and Add Dill: Stir in the chopped fresh dill, salt, and black pepper. Taste and adjust seasoning if needed.
  6. Serve: Ladle the soup into bowls and serve hot, optionally topping each serving with a dollop of sour cream for extra richness and creaminess.

Notes

  • For a creamier soup, blend a portion of the soup and return it to the pot before adding the pierogi.
  • Try adding extra vegetables such as fresh spinach or corn for additional flavor and nutrition.
  • This recipe works well with homemade or store-bought pierogi. Choose your favorite fillings.
  • Leftovers can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days and reheated gently on the stove.
