America has a strange obsession with the pickle and it turns up in all sorts of recipes where you wouldn’t expect it. Generally, they are all surprisingly nice and add a bit of salt and acid to many dishes.

Similarly, chips are starting to be used more as an ingredient rather than just a snack. They appear in crumb coatings and finger foods in place of bread or crackers. Plus, you can always have a few extra on hand for snacking while cooking.

Ingredients

2 tablespoons butter
1 medium onion diced
2 cloves garlic minced
2 pounds potatoes diced
2 medium carrots diced
1/4 cup all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon celery salt
1/4 teaspoon paprika
1/4 teaspoon ground pepper
1/8 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1/8 teaspoon dry mustard
1 bag (6.3 oz) dill pickle chips crushed
1/4 cup dill pickles
1/2 cup dill pickle juice
4 cups chicken stock
2 cups water
salt and pepper to taste

Equipment

1 large pot

Directions

In a large pot over moderate heat melt the butter. Add the diced onions and garlic, then cook until fragrant.
Add the potatoes and carrots, then cook until tender.
While still over moderate heat stir in the flour. It will coat the vegetables and combine them with the butter to create a roux.
Add the celery salt, paprika, pepper, cayenne pepper, and mustard powder, then stir to combine.
Add the crushed dill pickle chips and dill pickles, then slowly stir in the dill pickle juice and chicken stock. It will start to thicken slightly as it comes to a boil.
Gently simmer for at least 30 minutes. Check and stir every 10 minutes.
Taste then add water, salt, and pepper to achieve your preferred thickness and flavor. It can be thick like chowder or runny like a traditional soup. Garnish with extra chips or pickle slices.
