"This Dill Pickle Soup tastes just like the one they serve at the Polish Village Cafe in Hamtramck, MI, a long time Polish city next to Detroit. If you ever get a chance, stop into eat there. If you grew up Polish, it feels like you're eating in Grandma's basement. Enjoy!"
"Well, reading the reviews kinda surprised me at first. They were mostly negative. So i thought i would use them to "tweek" this recipe before i made it. I used three cups of potatoes instead of two...cut into very small cubes and used a whole cup of half and half instead of a half cup of milk..and added one more spoon of flour. Also i increased the sour cream to 8 ounces and all i can say is "WOW"!!! the recipe has the right ingredients and method...just needed an adjustment. I have been going to polish village for 20 years and i applaud them...this soup the way i made it is probably as close as you can get without actually going there!!!"
