Without my adaptations, this recipe would have received a lot lower rating. I took some suggestions for added flavor and it came out great! I doubled it (so my husband could take some to work for dinner), but instead of doing 3 cups of broth for a double batch, I did 4. I used about 3/4 cup chopped onion and I added 1/4 cup thinly sliced celery. I also added garlic salt to taste and about 1/4 cup of bacon bits. I didn't have any dill, so I omitted it. After stirring it all together, it was too thick, so I added half and half until it was to a more soup-like consistency. I also crubmled colby-jack cheese over the top. SUPER YUMMY in the end.

It was pretty good. I'd agree that it was a little bland. The changes I made were adding bacon and carrots. I cooked the carrots and onion in the bacon grease. I didn't really need the flour. My boyfriend would have liked it better chunky, but I liked the smooth consistency. I added more onion and replaced the dill with parsley. Oh! I put the parsley in with the boiling potatoes and when I pureed them, it turned kind of green! So be careful of that! All in all pretty good, but still a little bland. I'd still recommend it, just add your own personal touch!

Made this soup exactly as listed and I'm guessing it was good.My family ate it all before I could even try it.

This was good. I think it called for alittle to much onion, but it does have a great taste. I served with beer bread from this site and it turned out a great dinner.

Too bland for my taste. I would tweak it up next time myself. Hubby loved it.

I love this soup - it's nothing super fancy, but tastes great with the dill and is a full mean when you add green onions and cheese!

Consistency is very good, but I added a few more spices to give it a little more kick.

I gave this a four, with some changes. I added 1/4 cup celery and 1/8 carrots for color (as previously reccemmended). I increased the salt to 3/4 ts, the pepper to 1/8 ts, the onion to 2 tb, and the dill weed to 1/4 ts. The soup was thick enough not to need any flour. My husband also added a dolop of sour cream on top. I think green onions would be nice, too. Oh, and there is no way this makes 4 servings. We got 2 out of it, with no seconds. I think we will make this again, with the said changes, and will double it.
