What You're Craving: Dill Pickle Soup

One perk of working at Allrecipes is daily insight into what America is cooking. And one thing America is hankering for is a hot bowl of Dill Pickle Soup.

Have you tried it? Variations abound, though most recipes call for beef or chicken broth as a base, dill pickle juice, and a variety of winter root vegetables. The intensity of your soup's saltiness and sourness correlates with which pickle juice you choose.

Five to try:

• A Polish version, with cabbage
• This creamy, potato soup-y version via Mary Younkin of Barefeet in the Kitchen
• A hearty beef and barley take from Natasha, the Ukrainian foodie behind Natasha's Kitchen
• Cafe Polonia's famous dill pickle soup from its restaurant in Boston
• A chowdery version via Kalinda of the blog Wheat-Free Meat-Free

Time to go raid the pantry for pickles...
