Baba's Dill Pickle Soup

For all the dill lovers. This is my dill soup and pita veggie sandwich with fresh garden toamtoes, grated carrots, fresh onion, lettuce, cucumber and mayonnaise.

8 cups water
3 heaping teaspoons chicken broth mix(or veggie mix)
1 medium onion diced
1 garlic clove
2 carrots diced
4 large potatoes(older)
1 cup celery diced
5 pickles diced
2/3 cup pickle juice
2 tbps. butter
salt and pepper to taste
1 tbsp. flour
1 cup sour cream
1 tbsp. dill chopped
Melt butter and saute onion and garlic for a few minutes. Add water and broth mix. potatoes, carrots, celery, pickles, pickle juice, salt and pepper. Simmer about 30 minutes. I use the potato masher and just break up veggies in the pot a bit when cooked. You can blend it if you want but I like my veggies a bit chunky. Blend the flour with sour cream and add to broth slowly and simmer until thickened. Adjust seasoning and sprinkle dill. Delicious and better on the 3rd day. Good with sliced Wydnowski's sausage dropped in soup when reheating. Love this with rye bread and butter.
