I hate when people alter the recipe and then rate the recipe based on the changes they made. I believe rating should be on the recipe as it is written. That being said, we're giving this one 5 stars. I can see how some of the suggested additions/adjustments could be good as well, but the recipe is wonderful as is. The aroma, flavor and texture were all good enough that I could see this soup served at a fine restaurant. The ingredients all worked together very well and there wasn't anything that seemed out of place. I was worried about the dill and thought it would overpower but it definitely does not.
I can see how some people might find this soup to be a little on the heavy side (with the half-and-half and the butter) or salty side (with the use of regular chicken broth), but personally I don't think anything needs to be done. I think it's a good fall soup worth trying.
