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.

Ingredients

  • 2 tbsp butter (I used Country Crock Plant Butter)
  • 1 medium onion, diced (can sub with 3 diced scallions)
  • 1 carrot, diced
  • 2 large potatoes, cut into 1-inch cubes (see Note 1)
  • 2 to 3 cups water or vegetable stock
  • 1 ½ tsp salt
  • ½ tsp paprika
  • ¼ tsp ground turmeric
  • whole nutmeg, grated (don’t substitute with pre-ground nutmeg—see Note 2)
  • ¼ cup vegan cream (see Note 3)
  • ¼ cup fresh dill, chopped

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

  1. Potatoes can be substituted with small pasta (like orzo or pastina) or millet.
  2. 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.
  3. Vegan cream can be purchased online, or make your own cashew cream.
