Zupa Koperkowa or Polish Potato Dill Soup is a comforting one pot soup. It's packed with fresh dill, onions, carrots, potatoes, and a mild creamy broth.

Instructions
Melt 2 tbsp butter in a stockpot on medium heat. Sauté 1 medium onion, diced until soft and aromatic.
Add 1 carrot, diced and 2 large potatoes, cut into 1-inch cubes and sauté for another 5 minutes or so.
Pour in 2 to 3 cups water or vegetable stock. Add 1 ½ tsp salt, 1/2 tsp paprika, 1/4 tsp ground turmeric, and 1/8 whole nutmeg, grated. Cover and bring to a simmer, then lower the heat and simmer for at least 15 minutes, or until the carrots and potatoes are very soft.
Turn off the heat and stir in 1/4 cup vegan cream and 1/4 cup fresh dill, chopped.
Notes
Potatoes can be substituted with small pasta (like orzo or pastina) or millet.
Ground nutmeg goes stale super easily and I don’t recommend substituting ground nutmeg for the freshly grated nutmeg in this recipe. If you don’t have whole nutmeg to grate, just leave it out.
