This recipe turned out great. I ended up using two cups less chicken stock and no cream. I added bacon and chedder cheese.

This turned out well. You can really taste the dill, so you have to like that. I used 2 TB minced dried onion for the fresh, 1 can chopped carrots (added at end), used water + bullion for the broth, 1 12 oz can of evap milk for cream, used dried spices and put in 1 tsp salt, 1/2 tsp pepper, and 1 tsp Molly Mcbutter. Makes a lot of soup. Almost too full for my 4 qt dutch oven. My family of 5 only ate about half of it, although we had rolls with it too.
