Dill Soup (Zupa Koperkowa)
Ingredients:
- 15g unsalted butter
- 1 bunch fresh dill
- 500ml chicken or vegetable stock
- 1/2 lemon, juiced
- 150ml sour cream
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions:
-
Prep: Gather all the ingredients and equipment needed for the recipe. Melt the unsalted butter in a pan over low heat.
-
Cook Dill: Add the fresh dill to the melted butter and stir gently, allowing the flavors to infuse, for a few minutes. This step helps release the aromatic oils from the dill, enhancing its flavor.
-
Prepare Stock: While the dill is infusing in the butter, heat the chicken or vegetable stock in a separate pot until it’s warm but not boiling.
-
Combine Ingredients: Once the dill has softened and become fragrant, carefully pour the warmed stock into the pan with the dill and butter mixture. Stir to combine.
-
Add Lemon Juice: Squeeze the juice of half a lemon into the soup. The lemon juice adds a refreshing tanginess that complements the earthy flavor of the dill.
-
Incorporate Sour Cream: Gradually add the sour cream to the soup, stirring constantly to ensure it’s well incorporated. The sour cream adds a creamy richness to the soup, balancing out the flavors.
-
Season to Taste: Taste the soup and season with salt and pepper as desired. Adjust the seasoning according to your preference, keeping in mind the saltiness of the stock and the tanginess of the lemon juice.
-
Serve: Once the soup is heated through and seasoned to perfection, it’s ready to serve! Ladle the dill soup into bowls and garnish with extra fresh dill leaves if desired.
