A creamy, tangy soup flavored with dill pickles.

Cook Vegetables. In a 5 to 6-qt Dutch oven, melt over medium heat:
    2 Tbsp. salted butter

Add:
    1 medium onion, finely chopped
    1 medium carrot, peeled and coarsely shredded
    1 stalk celery, finely chopped

Cook and stir 5 minutes or until tender. Add and cook 2 minutes more:
    1 cup finely chopped dill pickles, plus slices for garnish

Add Potatoes and Broth. Add:
    1 (32-oz.) carton vegetable broth or reduced-sodium chicken broth
    1 lb. Yukon Gold or russet potatoes, peeled and chopped into 1/2-inch pieces
    1/2 cup dill pickle brine

Bring to boiling. Reduce heat and simmer, covered, 15 to 20 minutes or until the potatoes are tender.

Finish and Serve. In a medium bowl, whisk together:
    1 cup sour cream
    2 Tbsp. all-purpose flour

Gradually add about 1 cup of soup to the sour cream mixture, whisking to combine. Add back to the soup:

Return to a simmer, stirring occasionally until thickened, 3 to 4 minutes. Season with the dill, pepper and salt if desired:

    1/4 tsp. salt
