Ingredients
Scale
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 cup chopped yellow onion
2 carrots, chopped
2 celery stalks, chopped
4 cloves garlic, minced
8 cups chicken broth
1 teaspoon dried thyme
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 (12 ounce) package frozen pierogi
1 cup half-and-half
1/2 cup chopped fresh dill
Optional: 1 cup sliced kielbasa
Instructions
Heat olive oil in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium heat. Add onion, carrots, and celery. Cook until softened, about 5-7 minutes.
Add garlic and cook for 1 minute more until fragrant.
Pour in chicken broth. Add thyme, black pepper, and salt. Bring to a boil.
Add frozen pierogi to the boiling broth. If using kielbasa, add it now. Reduce heat and simmer for 10-15 minutes, or until pierogi are tender and heated through.
Stir in half-and-half and fresh dill. Heat gently until warmed through, but do not boil.
Ladle soup into bowls and serve immediately.
Notes
For a vegetarian option, use vegetable broth and omit the kielbasa.
You can substitute sour cream or heavy cream for half-and-half.
This soup is also delicious with a dollop of sour cream on top.
