In a large saucepan or soup pot with cover, combine chicken
stock, bouillon, carrots, potatoes, and celery. Bring to
a boil, reduce heat, and cook covered, over low heat, until
potatoes start to get soft (about 10 minutes). Do not overcook.
Add pickles and continue cooking about 15 minutes. In a
small bowl, beat milk and flour until smooth and stir in
a small amount of the hot soup (to temper) and add to soup.
Bring to the boil and cook until slightly thickened. Remove
from heat. In a small bowl, beat egg with sour cream until
smooth and stir in a small amount of the hot soup. Add to
soup and stir until smooth. Keep soup warm but DO NOT BOIL
(the soup will curdle). Add salt and pepper to taste and
garnish with parsley and dill. Makes 10 servings.
