In a large stock pot, cook diced bacon over medium-high heat until crispy. Use a slotted spoon to remove bacon to a paper towel-lined plate. Pour off all but about 1 tablespoon of bacon fat.
Add onion to hot pot with bacon fat and cook, stirring frequently, until onion is soft and translucent. Add garlic and cook another 30 seconds, until fragrant.
Add potatoes and chicken broth. Bring to a boil, lower to a simmer, and cook until potatoes are fork tender, about 15 minutes.
In a small bowl, whisk flour, milk, and dill pickle juice until smooth. Stir into soup and let simmer until thickened, about 5 minutes.
Remove from heat and stir in pickles and shredded cheese.
Taste and season with salt and pepper. It probably won't need salt but taste it to be sure.
Sprinkle with fresh dill before serving.
