I understand if you are a but skeptical of this one pot vegan dill pickle chowder. However, I can 100% assure you, this chowder is seriously delicious! Easy, hearty, comforting and perfect for cool weather. Potatoes, spicy vegan sausage, and of course dill pickles, pickle juice and extra fresh dill. I just need you to trust me, this Polish inspired chowder will be one of your new favorite things ever. Usually pickle soups are made using several different pots/pans, so I wanted to not only make an incredible plant-based version, I wanted it to be easy, with quick clean up.

What You Need For This Creamy Chowder:
- Onion, Carrots and Potatoes: To create that chowder feel.
- Dill Pickles and Fresh Dill: Chopped pickles, pickle juice and fresh dill go into the chowder.
- Vegetable Broth: I like to use premade broth, but if you like to make your own that is good too.
- Vegan Yogurt and Flour: Yogurt mixed with some pickle juice and flour goes into the chowder to thicken it.
- Vegan Sausage: I used spicy beyond sausage.

There is nothing like the flavor of this one pot vegan dill pickle chowder. The brininess of the pickles with the creaminess of the chowder is unmatched. The tender potatoes with the dill and onions is incredible. I am totally in love with this dish! Serve it all by its self or with some crusty bread for dipping. I promise you will create some huge fans with this meal.

Instructions

- Remove the sautéed sausage and veggies from the pot, put in a separate bowl and set aside.
- Now, add the potatoes to the pot and heat on medium. Sprinkle the potatoes with a pinch of salt and pepper. Toss.
- Pour the vegetable broth into the pot and stir the potatoes with the broth. Bring to a simmer, reduce heat to medium low.
- Let the potatoes simmer for about 10-15 minutes or until the potatoes are tender.
- While the potatoes simmer, whisk together the vegan yogurt, pickle juice and flour in a small mixing bowl.
- Once the potatoes are tender, pour the yogurt mixture into the pot with the broth and potatoes and whisk to combine.
- Then add the veggies and sausage back to the pot and stir everything together.
- Bring back to a simmer, and let simmer until the chowder thickens slightly and is creamy.

This looks so good! 🙂
If I could leave more stars I would. This was SO GOOD. I used double the sausage and used half vegan beef broth/half vegan chicken broth. Also made croutons to go on top because it’s winter and who doesn’t want more bread. 100% will be making again.
I absolutely love this recipe. I used Field Roast Spicy Mexican Chipotle sausage & I double it. OMG delicious!!!!
100% 5 stars! I knew this was gonna be a winner when I couldn’t stop eating the carrot/onion/pickle/sausage mixture while the potatoes were cooking.. I used Tofurkey Italian sausage.
Wowza!!! This is suppperrrrr good. I used Impossible spicy sausage. Loved this recipe so much.
