Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 medium russet potatoes (about 28 oz / 800g), peeled and cut into 1-inch chunks
  • 1 medium yellow onion, finely diced
  • 3 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1 large carrot, diced
  • 2 celery stalks, diced
  • 4 cups (32 fl oz / 960 ml) vegetable broth (low sodium recommended)
  • 1 cup (8 fl oz / 240 ml) whole milk or cream (or oat/almond milk for dairy-free)
  • ¼ cup (about 15g) fresh dill, finely chopped
  • 2 tablespoons (1 oz / 28g) butter
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • Optional: fresh chives, chopped (for garnish)
  • Optional: crusty bread for serving

Instructions

  1. Prep your vegetables: Peel and dice the russet potatoes into roughly 1-inch cubes. Finely dice the onion, carrot, and celery, and mince the garlic cloves. Chop the fresh dill and set aside.
  2. Sauté the aromatics: In a large heavy-bottomed pot, melt 2 tablespoons of butter over medium heat. Add diced onions, carrot, and celery. Stir occasionally until softened and onions turn translucent, about 5 minutes. Add garlic and cook for 30 seconds until fragrant, being careful not to burn it.
  3. Add potatoes and broth: Toss in the chunky potatoes and pour in 4 cups of vegetable broth. Bring to a gentle boil, then reduce to a simmer. Partially cover and cook for about 20 minutes until potatoes are tender but still hold their shape.
  4. Finish with milk and dill: Stir in 1 cup of milk or cream and the chopped fresh dill. Add salt and pepper to taste. Warm through for 5 minutes without boiling to prevent curdling. Add 1 tablespoon lemon juice and stir gently.
  5. Serve and garnish: Ladle soup into bowls and sprinkle with fresh chives if desired. Serve warm with crusty bread or a light salad.

Notes

Do not over-stir after adding potatoes to keep chunks intact. Use fresh dill added near the end for best flavor. Avoid boiling after adding milk to prevent curdling. Adjust thickness by adding broth or simmering longer uncovered. For dairy-free, substitute milk with oat or almond milk and butter with olive oil.
