Before you go running for the hills, you might want to give this recipe a second glance. Thousands of people have been chiming in on the interesting creation online. This easy recipe seems like a nice alternative to potato soup too since it's still hearty but a little less thick. I personally love pickles but understand that the sweet pickle flavor of the quintessential American snack isn't for everyone.
The soup comes with a pretty harmless cast of characters - potatoes, carrots, chicken stock, sour cream, and all-purpose flour. But crispy chopped pickles and pickle juice also make an appearance, so the finished product is sure to be an interesting one for those trying for the first time. If you are brave enough to make this soup for yourself, pucker up and watch this video. Who knew if you sauté pickles in a brothy cream mixture you get a delicious comfort food?
In the end, the soup certainly looks appetizing. Plus, it's relatively easy to make, with the total time for cook time and prep time only 40 minutes. Gather up the below ingredients and get ready to polish off a bowl (or two). No need for a slow cooker, instant pot, or a crockpot. You can just pop this on medium heat in a large pot, whisking occasionally until the hot broth thickens and is ready to share. Interested in the nutrition facts? Well, it is a creamy soup -- but pickles are a good source of vitamin A!

1/4 cup water
2 cups dill pickle juice
1 1/2 teaspoon table salt
