About the only thing I can add is...Thanks Joe!
That is a great looking pot of soup Ryan!! I'd eat a bucket full of it in a NY minute. There is no question that xray xray is a veritable wealth of info where soups are concerned. Several years ago he and I shared a ton of soup recipes back and forth over Winter than we started swapping salad recipes in the Spring. Been a ton of great stuff pass back and forth between us...and that is part of what makes this forum so great. Fantastic that you were able to take advantage of his recipe and make something truly superb with it. Great job sir!!

Great looking soup. I forwarded this to my wife as she loves pickles. We might have to try it out.

And the added sub-forums are great. Sent her that also. Shes already going through it for ideas.

Looks good. I still haven't gotten around to making this.
Thank you Steve! We get so busy and the to do list never gets any smaller...I think I saw this by accident looking for something else and decided it was time! Not to mention all the shopping we have to do to try and keep up with the enablers!

Great soup Ryan and you did good by Joe

And the cheese on top is like gravy on potatoes, lol

I can see me trying this ,BUT I am not a fan of dill pickles but I do love sweet.
So i might try this with my bread and butter brine and my mustard pickles,

sounds weird but what the hay. I've made weird food before

Thanks David, I appreciate it! Yep, put your own twist on it...sure you'll come up with something good!

Never heard of pickle soup until seeing this thread.
Thank you Norman! I believe it's just what the Dr. Ordered! I hadn't heard of it till I saw Joe make it...the pictures do help!

Thanks Robert! Forum is definitely a great place for new ideas! Old or new. Or as you say, swapping recipes and tweaking to your tastes if needed.

This soup is due to the courtesy of Joe, xray xray ! I seemed to have missed the soup that @jcam222 made similar to this only keto style... and Jeff, yours looked delicious...but can't compete with your gorgeous pics you take!
I will say I followed Joe's recipe almost exactly so if I miss something go look at his thread.
First his recipe, and yes I'm lazy and slow typer so you get a screenshot

View attachment 653546

Didn't take a pic but started by mixing 1/4 cup flour with 1/4 cup pickle juice, then add 1 cup sour cream and set aside till later.
Got all the ingredients prepped, the mixture of flour, pickle juice and sour cream is in center.

Melted the butter then added carrots and onions into pot till tender

View attachment 653548

Add pickles and cook a few minutes

View attachment 653549


Then added chicken broth and potatoes...cook till tender. Then reduce heat and add flour, pickle juice, and sour cream mixture. Along with the 1.5 tsp Old Bay seasoning, black pepper. I withheld the cayenne pepper, I wanted my wife to enjoy it and not be too hot for her. Also, I only added 3/4 cup of pickle juice instead of 1 cup...figured I could always add more.

This was kinda spur of the moment soup but it couldn't have worked out better on timing...just so happened my wife came home with a loaf of bread given to her at work that day

View attachment 653552


Time for some garlic toast in the oven!

View attachment 653553

I tried the soup just like this to begin with...

View attachment 653554

Then I felt I wanted to try it with cheese!

View attachment 653555


That was sure a tasty batch of soup! Was a great meal for a cold snowy night!
About the only thing I can add is...Thanks Joe! My wife didn't take much convincing and she liked it. Will definitely be made again!

One more thing...I really like the new soups group...makes finding them very easy without adding them to my endless bookmarks...which this soup was at, just down aways!

Take care!
Ryan
Looks great! Putting this on my to do list.
