- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 cups milk
- 1 cup sour cream
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- In a large pot, bring chicken broth to a boil.
- Add diced potatoes and chopped dill pickles to the pot, then simmer until the potatoes are tender (about 15-20 minutes).
- In a separate saucepan, melt butter over medium heat.
- Stir in the flour to make a roux, cooking for 1-2 minutes until golden.
- Gradually whisk in the milk until the mixture is smooth and thickened.

Notes
- For extra flavor, you can add a small amount of pickle juice or extra dill.
- If you prefer a thicker soup, mash some of the potatoes once they’re cooked, or use an immersion blender to puree part of the soup for a creamier texture.
- Garnish with extra chopped pickles or fresh dill if desired.
