A warm and comforting soup featuring tender cheese and potato pierogis simmered in a creamy broth with caramelized onions and fresh herbs. Perfect for cozy nights and easy weeknight meals.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 12 cheese and potato pierogis (frozen or fresh)
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 1 cup finely chopped yellow onion (about 150 g)
  • 2 garlic cloves, minced
  • 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • 4 cups chicken or vegetable broth (950 ml)
  • 1 cup heavy cream (240 ml)
  • 2 tablespoons fresh dill or parsley, chopped
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Optional: 2 tablespoons sour cream

Instructions

  1. Melt 2 tablespoons of unsalted butter in a large pot over medium heat. Add the finely chopped yellow onion and cook for 7-10 minutes until soft and golden brown, stirring occasionally.
  2. Stir in 2 minced garlic cloves and cook for 1 minute until fragrant, being careful not to brown the garlic.
  3. Sprinkle 3 tablespoons of all-purpose flour over the onions and garlic. Stir constantly for 2 minutes to cook the flour without browning it.
  4. Slowly whisk in 4 cups of chicken or vegetable broth to avoid lumps. Bring the mixture to a gentle boil, then reduce to a simmer.
  5. Add 12 frozen or fresh pierogis to the pot. Simmer uncovered for 7-10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the pierogis float and the broth thickens slightly. Add a splash of broth or water if the soup becomes too thick.
  6. Lower the heat and pour in 1 cup of heavy cream. Stir gently to combine and warm through for 2-3 minutes. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  7. Remove from heat and stir in 2 tablespoons of freshly chopped dill or parsley. For extra tang, swirl in 2 tablespoons of sour cream if desired. Serve immediately.

Notes

Use vegetable broth and dairy-free cream alternatives to make the soup vegan. For gluten-free, substitute all-purpose flour with a gluten-free blend or cornstarch slurry. Avoid boiling after adding cream to prevent curdling. Watch pierogis carefully to avoid overcooking; floating indicates they are done. If soup thickens too much, loosen with broth or water.
