Preparation
- Peel and dice 2-3 waxy potatoes and 2-3 carrots into small, even pieces. Chop 1 brown onion, 2-3 garlic cloves, and a handful of fresh dill while slicing 2-3 scallions.
Cook Base
- In a large pot, melt 2 tablespoons of unsalted butter over medium-low heat. Once melted and bubbly, add the chopped onion and minced garlic, stirring for about 1 minute until fragrant.
- Incorporate the diced carrots and scallions, cooking for an additional 2 minutes.
Seasoning
- Stir in 1 teaspoon of salt, ½ teaspoon of black pepper, 1 teaspoon of dried marjoram, ½ teaspoon of ground turmeric, ¼ teaspoon of ground nutmeg, and 1 bay leaf into the pot.
- Let the spices meld for about 1 minute.
Combine Veggies
- Add the prepared potatoes and 1 cup of frozen green peas to the pot after bringing it to a rapid boil.
- Pour in 4 cups of chicken broth and increase the heat to high.
Simmer
- Once boiling, cover the pot with a lid and reduce the heat to medium-low. Let it simmer for about 15 minutes, or until the potatoes are fork-tender.
Finish
- After 15 minutes, stir in ½ cup of full-fat sour cream and 3 tablespoons of the chopped fresh dill. Cook uncovered for an additional 5 minutes.
Serve
- Ladle the creamy Polish Dill Soup into bowls and garnish with the remaining dill. Serve warm alongside crusty bread.

Notes
Use fresh dill for the best flavor. Consider customizing with rice, pasta, or meatballs for a heartier dish.
