  • Total Time: 30 minutes
  • Yield: 4 servings

Ingredients

Vegetables and Aromatics

  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 yellow onion, diced
  • 2 carrots, diced
  • 2 celery sticks, diced
  • 4 Yukon gold potatoes, medium, peeled and diced
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • ¼ cup fresh dill, diced

Spices and Seasonings

  • 1 tsp dried thyme
  • 1 tsp paprika
  • 1 tsp turmeric

Liquids and Miscellaneous

  • 4½ cups vegetable broth (homemade or store-bought)
  • 4 pickles, medium, diced (approx. 1 cup)
  • 1 cup white beans, canned, drained and rinsed
  • ¼ cup pickle juice
  • 5 tbsp tahini (¼ cup + 1 tbsp)

Instructions

  1. Sauté Aromatics: In a pot over medium heat, heat the olive oil. Add diced onion, carrots, and celery, and sauté until softened, about 2 to 3 minutes. This helps to build the base flavor of the soup.
  2. Add Potatoes and Spices: Stir in the diced potatoes, minced garlic, dried thyme, and paprika. Continue to sauté until the potatoes begin to soften, approximately 5 minutes. This step infuses the spices into the vegetables.
  3. Simmer Soup: Pour in the vegetable broth, diced pickles, white beans, and pickle juice. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to low and cover. Simmer for 8 to 10 minutes until the potatoes are tender and cooked through.
  4. Add Creaminess and Herbs: Stir in the tahini and turmeric thoroughly until the soup becomes creamy. Finally, garnish with fresh diced dill to add a fresh, herbal note to the soup.
  5. Store and Serve: Let the soup cool slightly and serve warm. Store any leftovers in the refrigerator for up to four days, ensuring flavors meld and the soup remains fresh.

Notes

  • You can adjust the amount of pickle juice for a more or less tangy flavor according to your preference.
  • For a smoother texture, blend part or all of the soup after cooking, then stir in tahini and dill.
  • This soup is naturally vegan and vegetarian, making it suitable for both diets.
  • Use homemade vegetable broth to enhance the soup’s depth of flavor.
  • Fresh dill is key for the best flavor; substitute with dried dill if necessary but use less.
