This soup will work with any vegetables except maybe tomatoes. I have used rutabaga and parsnips in it on occasion. The veggie broth instead of water is good but not true Finnish Summer Soup with that. No other herbs are really needed. Just make sure you use enough dill. I always add more than the recipe calls for. We eat it with Finnish grill cheese or salmon and Finnish rye bread. And don't forget to add a pat of butter to your bowl before you eat it.Reply

This was really lovely, and perfect for using the end-of-summer harvest on this night when fall seems around the corner. I did use vegetable broth instead of water, and used skim milk. I used broccoli instead of cauliflower as well, but this recipe is versatile enough that any of your favorite veggies (or whatever is languishing in your fridge) will work perfectly.
