Instructions

Begin by melting the butter in a large pot over medium heat. Once the butter is sizzling, add the finely chopped onion. Cook for about four minutes until the onion becomes soft and translucent, releasing its sweet aroma. Next, incorporate the minced garlic along with the sliced carrots and celery. This combination of vegetables not only builds the flavor of your soup but also adds nutritional value. Continue to sauté these vegetables for five more minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking.
Once your vegetables are tender and fragrant, pour in the vegetable broth. Stir the pot gently to combine, and then bring the mixture to a vigorous boil. The heat from the soup will draw out the flavors from the vegetables. After the broth reaches a boil, reduce the heat and let it simmer for about ten minutes. This step will allow the vegetables to become even more tender and meld with the broth, enhancing the overall flavor.
It’s now time to add those delicious frozen pierogi into the broth—being careful not to overcrowd the pot if you like a more broth-based soup! Allow the pierogi to cook for about five to seven minutes. They will soften and begin to float to the top when they are ready. This is a great indicator that the pierogi have reached the perfect texture.
After the pierogi are cooked, it’s time to create that rich and creamy texture. Stir in the heavy cream, followed by the chopped fresh dill and lemon juice. These ingredients balance the richness of the cream and contribute fresh, zesty notes that enhance your soup. Season with salt and pepper according to your taste preferences. Allow the soup to simmer for an additional five minutes to allow the flavors to blend beautifully.
Now comes the best part—serve your scrumptious Easy Pierogi Dill Soup hot! Ladle the soup into bowls, and if desired, top with a dollop of sour cream for an extra layer of indulgence. Pair it with crusty bread, and enjoy a comforting meal that’s sure to satisfy!

Notes

Using fresh vegetables can elevate the soup’s flavor. However, frozen mixed vegetables can be a convenient alternative. Choosing high-quality frozen pierogi will result in a more flavorful soup; test different brands to find your favorite.
