Ingredients

Scale

Vegetables & Aromatics

  • 1 onion, finely chopped
  • 3 garlic cloves, minced
  • 3 carrots, sliced
  • 3 celery stalks, sliced

Broth & Liquids

  • 5 cups vegetable broth
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 2 tbsp lemon juice
  • 2 tbsp butter

Other Ingredients

  • 12 frozen pierogi (potato & cheese or your choice)
  • 1/4 cup fresh dill, chopped
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Optional: sour cream for serving

Instructions

  1. Cook Aromatics: In a large pot, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the finely chopped onion and cook until translucent and softened, about 4 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent burning.
  2. Sauté Vegetables and Garlic: Stir in the minced garlic, sliced carrots, and celery stalks. Continue cooking for an additional 5 minutes, allowing the vegetables to soften and the garlic to become fragrant.
  3. Add Broth and Simmer: Pour in the vegetable broth and bring to a boil. Once boiling, reduce the heat to a simmer and cook for 10 minutes until the carrots and celery are tender.
  4. Cook Pierogi: Add the frozen pierogi directly into the simmering soup. Cook according to the package instructions, usually 5-7 minutes, until the pierogi float to the surface and are cooked through and tender.
  5. Finish Soup: Stir in the heavy cream, fresh chopped dill, lemon juice, and season with salt and pepper to taste. Let the soup simmer for another 5 minutes to meld the flavors together.
  6. Serve: Ladle the soup into bowls and serve hot. Optionally, top each serving with a dollop of sour cream and extra fresh dill for added creaminess and freshness.

Notes

  • You can use any variety of pierogi, but potato and cheese are traditional and work best in this soup.
  • For a lighter version, substitute heavy cream with half-and-half or a plant-based cream alternative.
  • Adjust the amount of dill according to your preference, as dill lends a bright, fresh flavor that complements the richness of the soup.
  • Adding lemon juice brightens the soup; start with less and add more to taste.
  • This soup reheats well and pierogi may soak up some broth, so add extra broth or water when reheating if needed.
