My Grandmother's Russian Pickle Soup (Printable version)

Pickle Soup

Ingredients:
8 cups of water
1 pork roast (about 2 lb)
3 Tbs of dried dill (or more to taste)
2 Cups of spinach leaves/swiss chard leaves
1 Cup of chopped green onions
10-12 roughly peeled Potatoes
three dill pickles, shredded,
1/4 cup of the juice from the pickle jar
Salt to taste, clove of garlic, and 2 tsp. kelp (optional).
Saute roast, searing both sides and then ad water to pot.
Bring to a boil, turn down, and simmer for about an hour.
After about an hour, add the dill, the whole potatoes,
a clove of garlic, kelp, green onions, greens, pickles and juice.
Cook about 40 minutes, until potatoes are cooked.
After the roast is cooked, remove so that it can cool:
cut up into bite-sized pieces.
While the roast is cooling, the potatoes should be done cooking,
so scoop them up and break them up with a fork
Add the bits of meat back to the soup, dish up, and enjoy.
