Simple to make and tastes great!

This has become my family's favorite soup and I make it all the time. My three kids love it! I don't care too much for dill, so I replace it with marjoram. In summer I use fresh herbs. Sometimes I add 4 pieces of chopped bacon because my hubby loves meat. And instead of the cream I've used whole milk or a can of fat free evaporated milk. Both are good. Great recipe!

Worked great! Tasted good. I added some cabbage and switched grains of paradise in for the pepper. Was a great addition to a meal of corned beef with a side of rutebega.

This is great soup. I increased the soy sauce, but used a little less flour. Very rich and delicious soup - a hit with everyone at the table!

Great soup! I made a few changes to make it lighter, but it was still very good. Instead of cream and flour, I just added about 1 cup of unsweetened soy milk, about 2 tsp sugar. I also used about 3 TBS of tamari used half veg stock and half water. Otherwise I followed the ingredients and method as in the recipe. It makes a thick and satisfying soup.
