SO HOW'D IT GO?
I was disappointed in this soup. Whilst my boyfriend liked it, the rest of the family and I thought it was pretty 'meh'. It lacked flavour and was too oily. I must admit that I guessed the amount of margerine as I didn't have any sticks, perhaps I added too much.
;)b
Absolutely great! Like many others, I decided to cut the amount of dill in half but I had to bump up the cayenne a bit and I subbed olive oil for the margarine. Also I was out of soy sauce, I substituted a bit of balsamic and a few dashed of Worcestershire. It turned out fantastic and I cant wait to finish the rest off tomorrow.
The only thing I will do different next time, is I will add some brown and wild rice to round it out a bit.
This is a fantastic soup! I also used half the cayenne and it still had a zing. I brought this to an Easter soup-off and it was the hands down favorite amongst my husband's carnivorous family, even competing with meat soups. I doubled it and added a splash more wine and soy. This soup is very quick and easy. It works as a main course if you have a hearty salad and bread, otherwise good as a starter. I will try it with some soy milk or non-dairy creamer next time! :)>>>
I actually created an account just so I could let the world know how fantastic this soup is. It was a snap to make, I and took the advice of the other reviewers and reduced the dill to 1 tablespoon and I also added 3/4 cup non-dairy creamer toward the end to make it creamy and thicken it up a bit. Soooo yummy, we were licking our bowls and wished there was more. Net time you see a sale on mushrooms, it's the perfect excuse to give this one a try.
This makes a really wonderful soup. The flavor is unique and delicious. I used only half the dill and cayenne pepper and it came out perfect. I also added about 3/4 cup of non-dairy creamer to lighten the color and make it creamier.
Oh my lord this was SO wonderful! Nothing like the yucky canned stuff you use in casseroles. I did add 1 cup soy milk with 3 Tbs. flour to thicken it up, and I only had sherry so I used that and 2 cups veg broth. My 20 month old even kept asking for more soup!
This was really good but super spicy!! I could tolerate it but it was way too hot for my husband. I'd make this again but maybe use 1/2 tsp of the cayenne pepper instead.
Oh baby was this good! I found a substitute for the wine since i didn't have any on hand and it came out wonderful. There was a lot of dill though....but it was really good. ;) Yummalicious.
This sounds great! The name pulled me in. What did you use to sub for the wine? I can't exactly go out and buy some because I'm not of the legal drinking age, and I abhor cooking wine.
This was absolutely delicious! I added some fresh garlic and used canned broth in place of the boullion. Will make this again and again. Even my boyfriend liked it and he doesn't care for mushrooms.
