A quick recipe for a low carb keto friendly dill pickle soup containing salami, onion, garlic, carrot, celery, dill pickles, and a broth of homemade chicken stock and sour cream. Just 4g of net carbs per serving, ready in 30 minutes.
Start by rendering off some chopped hard salami in a large soup pot over medium heat. While the fat in the salami renders start preparing the base of the soup known as the mirepoix.
2 oz hard salami or bacon
Prepare the mirepoix by finely dicing the carrot, onions, celery, and garlic. The carrot, celery, and onions should be roughly the same size, about the 1 cm x 1 cm. You can also use a box grater or a food processor to get a finer chop.
1 small onion, 2 stalks celery, 1 large carrot, 2 cloves garlic
Add the mirepoix ingredients to the pot to fry and caramelize with the salami. Season with salt and fry over medium heat for 8-10 minutes until the ingredients begin to brown and caramelize. The water content of the veggies should have noticeably reduced.
Quarter the dill pickles lengthwise into spears, then chop across the width into smaller pieces. Add the chopped pickles to the pot and cook for around 5 minutes before adding in the sour cream and homemade chicken stock/broth. Pickles spend their whole life in liquid so they won't get mushy in the soup. Adjust the broth level as needed by adding water or more chicken stock/broth. Cover and simmer for around 10 minutes.
3 large dill pickles, 20 oz chicken stock or bone broth, ⅓ cup sour cream
After simmering add freshly chopped dill, sliced green onions, and serve!
3-4 sprigs fresh dill, salt and pepper
Notes
Bacon can be used in place of the salami. Optionally the bacon or salami could be omitted in place of some cooking oil to fry the mirepoix.
