This soup is made from a century-old Swiss recipe. Traditionally it is a winter soup, but we serve it year-round because of the demand.—Nancy Ross, Salem, Oregon

Very tangy, but just what I wanted. I liked it more then the rest of my family. I used those giant dill pickles to make grating easier & I grated a couple carrot into it too. I also substituted half the amount of heavy cream for the milk. I have a feeling this is one of those recipes that will be even better the next day.

I have been making Dill Pickle Soup since it was first published in TOH oh so many years ago. I especially love making it as a 1st course for a holiday dinner. Over the years I've shared this recipe with many.

I made this soup for our church's lenten soup supper. It was a hit; but most people said this was not a soup you could eat in large portions. It would be better served at a multi-course meal, where a small portion would be served. It definetly has a unique flavor that not everyone will enjoy; but certainly worth trying.
