Dill Pickle Soup Recipe

This very unusual Dill Pickle Soup tastes fantastic!  It always surprises my guests when they discover that it has dill pickles in it.  Excellent for a dinner party to give your meal a spectacular start.  I have used this wonderful soup in several of my dinner party menus.

This Dill Pickle soup is so addictive!  Give this soup a try and see and taste what I am talking about.

    I used to eat at Trianon in Portland Oregon, at least twice a week, just to have Chef Otto’s Dill Pickle Soup!! I’ve tried to make it from his recipe, a few times .. it’s still delicious, but just not the same ☹
