Looking for the name of a spice in "zupa ogorkowa" soup i had recently.

Hey friends, i recently visited a polish deli (cheers from Ontario,Canada) and i had a dill pickle soup (zupa ogorkowa?) and i was hoping to replicate it at home. I did ask for the spice name but i couldn't understand the translation.It was a small black round spice (like a hard blueberry), maybe 2-3 per serving and i don't think you eat them, i can't seem to find that particular spice in any recipes.Any help is appreciated, and if anyone has a recipe they could share that would be awesome too!
