"It sounds strange but I have been told by Polish friends about dill pickle soup in the past so it has to be worth a try if only to try something different."

This soup is excellent!! I wasn't sure about the katsup when I made the soup, but it really did add flavor to the soup. I only had one pork chop so it might not have gotten as much flavor as it would have with more chops, but it was good with just one. Next time, I'll plan ahead and have enough pork chops on hand. Also, I used Garlic Dill pickle slices so that gave it a llittle bit of a different taste too. Nonetheless, it was a great soup. Thanks for sharing your recipe Sarah!! Made for ZWT 4 and the Cafe ZMAKK Gypsies. -
This really is a fantastic soup! If you're put off by the ingredients, don't be. None of the flavours are strong or overwhelming. I will absolutely make this again, and I'll try and get a picture of the leftovers tomorrow. Yummy! Thanks Sarah Jayne! Made for ZWT 4.

These days, I am trying to eat a lot less meat. So, I am trying to have as many vegetarian recipes in the week as I can manage. I have started a blog - <a href="http://weekendcarnivore.com/">Weekend Carnivore</a> where I blog about trying to eat a mostly vegetarian diet. I share a lot of my discovered recipes there. If I make one of your vegetarian recipes and I managed to take a good photo of it, chances are I will blog about it and tell everybody how much I enjoyed it.
