This is a great autumn/winter soup, very colorful and filling. I made it on the stovetop and it only took about an hour, start to finish. The only real substitution I made was to use thyme and rosemary in place of the dill as we are not dill 'fans.' I'm sure we'll be making this again ~ thanks for posting! :)

Great recipe! I made the following adjustments based on what I had in the house and it worked well: - yogurt instead of half-n-half - frozen instead of fresh spinach - dry instead of fresh dill (added at the beginning)
