Dill Pickle Soup
Why I Love This Recipe
This recipe is from The Henry Ford Museum in Dearborn, Michigan; where I worked for many years. I am a brown-bagger myself but if this was on the menu I always ordered it. Before I left my position there I asked the chef for her recipe and this is what I received.
