I would rate this with 5 stars, but I put this in a slow cooker after I made it and the "low" setting proved to be too hi to keep it warm. The milk curdled or just changed its consistency. Although it looked bad, it tasted wonderful. I'll make it again and possible leave out the dill. I don't mind the taste, but the look of it floating all around is not appealing to me. Thanks!

    This soup is outstanding! It tastes great and is very easy to make. I did not add the flour, instead I put half of the mixture in the blender and pureed the potatoes - used them as the thickening agent. I also added a bit of grated cheese to the top of each bowl - really tasty! Thank-you for posting this!

    This was great soup! I did make some alterations. I added about 1/8 teaspoon red pepper flakes (I do that with just about everything) and 2 cups of cubed ham. Then when I added the milk and flour I also added 1 1/2 cups velveeta. I made it in the crockpot. I put everything but the flour, milk, and cheese in, then about an hour before the potatoes were done, I added them. It took about 7-8 hours on low with the potatoes in one inch dices. Oh, and I used chicken stock in place of the water and boullion. Thanks!
