Quite tasty. The only thing I did differently was to use my immersian blender for a few pulses before I put in the mushrooms. Having done that I think next time I'll skip the flour - it would thicken up nicely without it.

OMG So so good!! :) Im sorry I didn't have all the ingredients so I did use a few substitutions.... Parsley for the dill, onions for the leeks, and sour cream for the half and half... It was full flavored and so yummy!! :))) ENJOY!!!

I made this exactly as written and it was very good. My family loved it and I will definitely be making it again. For me it was not bland, it was just that the flavors of the ingredients were subtle, with the mushrooms standing out with the most flavor. If you like alot of flavor, I think that adding some shredded cheese and/or bacon on top would be really good. And definitely have some hot, crusty bread with this soup for dipping!

I love dill but I didnt like this soup. Was some what bland except for over powering taste of dill. I did not garnish with more dill as stated in the directions, I did crumble a little bacon on top. Maybe some sour cream would help or paprika. On a positive note was easy to make and not expensive ingredients Sorry I cant be more positive on the taste.

This is always a big hit with my family (hubby, 5yo, 3yo, and 18mo old). I've made this a couple of times following the recipe almost exactly (left out the flour) and it is very very good. I've also made it using 4c vegetable broth 2c water (since the box broth comes in 32oz sizes) and replaced the half and half plus flour mixture with heavy cream since I'm not a huge fan of adding flour to soups. If you add a little extra potato and blend about a cup or two of the soup at the end and add it back that will thicken the soup up nicely. Thanks for a great recipe.

This recipe finally prompted me to join allrecipes just to give a review of this soup. I made it this fall exactly as specified. Amazing. I have (after making it for my family's traditional Polish Christmas Eve dinner) only made one change. I pour in the half and half into the soup, then make a flour paste with water, and slowly stir in. Seems to thicken better that way. The picky husband loves it as well as my 3 and 6 yr old.

Rich, delicious soup. I did substitute canola oil in place of the butter for the sautéing but it still was fabulous. Definitely will make it again!

I did not change any of the recipe ingredients, only used more mushrooms and fewer potatoes because that was what I had in house. Satisfying, warming, delicious soup with complex but light flavors. Thanks for this recipe.

Great flavor. Very easy to make. I used sour cream insted if hal-n-half as suggested by others. I also used green onions in place of the leeks. i will make this again. Very hearty without many calories.
