Oh my is this a heavenly bowl of goodness. Very proud that on a recent trip upstate I picked tomatoes and dill fresh from the garden. Could not have found a more fitting treatment to showcase my summer bounty. The soup has a lovely richness that suggest a more fussy preparation with sauteing and layering and one would never guess that it is more or less dump and run. The orange manages to brighten the dill without becoming an addition flavor to muddle the palate. I left out the sugar as it was unneeded. Thanks!
