Ingredients
  

For the Soup
  • 2 tablespoons Butter Adds richness and flavor; substitute with olive oil for a lighter option.
  • 1 Onion Base flavor for the broth; can use shallots for a milder taste.
  • 2 cloves Garlic Enhances overall flavor; fresh minced or powdered garlic works well.
  • 2 Carrots Provides sweetness and texture; swap with parsnips or sweet potatoes if desired.
  • 2 Celery stalks Adds depth to the soup; leeks can be a flavorful alternative.
  • 6 cups Vegetable Broth Liquid base for the soup; use chicken broth for a non-vegetarian option.
  • 16 ounces Frozen Pierogi Main ingredient that provides heartiness; different flavors can be used to customize the dish.
  • 1 cup Heavy Cream Creates a rich, velvety texture; substitute with coconut cream for dairy-free or a splash of milk for a lighter result.
  • 1/4 cup Fresh Dill Offers brightness and aroma; dried dill can be an alternative, but fresh is recommended for maximum flavor.
  • Salt Essential for seasoning; adjust to personal taste preferences.
  • Pepper Essential for seasoning; adjust to personal taste preferences.
  • 1/2 tablespoon Lemon Juice Adds tanginess and freshness; vinegar can substitute for similar acidity.

Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. In a large pot, melt 2 tablespoons of butter over medium heat. Add one chopped onion and sauté for about 4 minutes or until it becomes translucent.
  2. Next, stir in 2 minced garlic cloves, 2 diced carrots, and 2 chopped celery stalks. Cook for an additional 5 minutes, stirring frequently, until the vegetables soften and the garlic is fragrant.
  3. Pour in 6 cups of vegetable broth, then increase the heat to bring the mixture to a rolling boil. Once boiling, reduce the heat to a simmer and cover the pot, letting it cook for about 10 minutes until the vegetables are tender but not mushy.
  4. Gently add 16 ounces of frozen pierogi to the simmering broth. Follow the package instructions for cook time, usually about 5 to 7 minutes, until they float to the surface.
  5. Stir in 1 cup of heavy cream, 1/4 cup of chopped fresh dill, and the juice of half a lemon to brighten the flavors.
  6. Taste your Easy Pierogi Dill Soup and adjust with salt and pepper to your liking. Serve hot, garnishing with a dollop of sour cream and extra dill if desired.
