I have made this recipe a number of times this summer! I have made this using chicken broth (which is all that I seem to have on hand) and have used sour cream instead of the yogurt. This past time, I wanted to use up sour cream but did not have enough, so I topped it off with whipping cream. I had fresh dill and that made a nice difference! This soup was appreciated by all!!! Kudos on a great find!!!
