Ingredients

Scale

Soup Base

  • 4 cups low-sodium vegetable broth
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1 medium sweet onion, diced
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 medium russet potatoes, diced
  • 1 tbsp lemon juice
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Main Ingredient

  • 2 cups pierogi (store-bought or homemade)

Herbs

  • 1/4 cup fresh dill, chopped

Instructions

  1. Sauté Onions: In a large pot over medium heat, add a drizzle of oil and sauté the diced onions until they become soft and translucent, releasing their natural sweetness.
  2. Add Garlic and Potatoes: Stir in the minced garlic and diced potatoes; cook for an additional few minutes until the mixture is fragrant and the potatoes begin to soften.
  3. Add Broth and Simmer: Pour in the vegetable broth and bring it to a gentle simmer, allowing the potatoes to cook through.
  4. Cook Pierogis: Add the pierogis to the pot and cook according to package instructions, usually until they float to the top, indicating they are fully cooked.
  5. Add Cream: Stir in the heavy cream, reducing heat to let the soup simmer gently until the cream is fully incorporated and the soup is heated through.
  6. Season and Garnish: Mix in the fresh dill, lemon juice, salt, and pepper, adjusting the seasoning to taste just before serving.

Notes

  • You can use either store-bought or homemade pierogis depending on your preference.
  • If you prefer a lighter soup, substitute heavy cream with half-and-half or coconut milk.
  • Fresh dill is preferred for its bright flavor, but dried dill can be used in a pinch (reduce quantity).
  • For a vegan version, use plant-based cream and make sure pierogis are vegan-friendly.
  • The soup pairs well with a side of crusty bread or a fresh green salad.
