Ingredients
Scale
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 pound smoked kielbasa, sliced
- 1 medium yellow onion, chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 6 cups chicken broth
- 1 (10 ounce) can diced tomatoes, undrained
- 1 pound frozen pierogi
- 1/2 cup heavy cream
- 1/4 cup fresh dill, chopped
- Salt and black pepper to taste
Instructions
- Heat olive oil in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium heat. Add sliced kielbasa and cook until browned, about 5-7 minutes. Remove kielbasa from the pot and set aside, leaving the drippings.
- Add chopped yellow onion to the pot and cook until softened, about 3-5 minutes. Stir in minced garlic and cook for another minute until fragrant.
- Pour in chicken broth and diced tomatoes. Bring the mixture to a simmer.
- Add frozen pierogi to the simmering broth. Cook according to package directions, usually 5-8 minutes, until the pierogi float to the top and are tender.
- Return the cooked kielbasa to the pot. Stir in heavy cream and fresh chopped dill. Season the creamy pierogi dill soup with salt and black pepper to taste.
- Serve the hearty pierogi dill soup warm, garnished with extra fresh dill if desired.
Notes
- For a vegetarian pierogi dill soup, omit the kielbasa and use vegetable broth instead of chicken broth.
- You can use any type of frozen pierogi you prefer, such as potato and cheese, mushroom, or sauerkraut.
- Adjust the amount of dill to your liking; fresh dill provides the best flavor for this dill pickle and pierogi soup.
- This easy pierogi dill soup can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
