Ingredients

  • 2 Tablespoons Olive oil
  • 1/2 a Sweet onion, diced
  • 1 large Carrots, diced
  • 2 Cloves Garlic, chopped
  • 1 Cup Dill pickles, diced
  • 6 Ounces Vegan spicy sausage, crumbled
  • 2 Large Russet potatoes, diced
  • 6 Cups Vegetable broth
  • 1/3 Cup Plain vegan yogurt, I used Kite Hill
  • 3 Tablespoons Pickle juice
  • 1 Tablespoon All purpose flour
  • 1/4 Cup Fresh dill, chopped
  • Salt and Pepper to taste

Instructions

  • Heat the olive oil on medium high in a large soup pot.
  • Add the onion, carrots, garlic and pickles to the pot. Sauté, reducing heat as needed, until the onion is translucent. About 1-2 minutes.
  • Add the sausage to the pot and break up into crumbles with a wooden spoon. Toss with the veggies and continue to sauté until the sausage is brown. 1-3 more minutes. Season with a pinch of salt and pepper.
  • 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.
  • Season with a pinch of salt and pepper. Add the fresh dill and stir.
  • Taste and adjust seasonings, adding more salt and pepper and/or pickle juice if needed.
  • Serve!
