- Mix in the garlic and cook until fragrant, about 30 seconds.
- Add the broth, brine and potatoes, bring to a boil, reduce the heat and simmer until the potatoes are tender, about 10-15 minutes.
- Add the dill pickles and heat, about 3-5 minutes.
- Mix the sour cream and flour before mixing into the soup, and simmering until it thickens, about 3-5 minutes.

Option: Add a pinch of cayenne for some spicy heat!
Option: The sour cream adds creaminess to the soup and it can be omitted if you prefer a lighter broth!
Option: The flour works as a thickener and if you want a thinner, more brothy soup, omit it, or use less, and if you want a thicker soup, add more.
