Wow this was really a lot better than I thought it would be. The only thing different I did was, I had to use celery seed instead of dill. -
Velvety, Very Rich, Rib Sticking good! 1/2 cup of butter is way to much for our diets. I used 1/4 cup. The flour I kept as called for but this was very very thick and I should have cut the flour back as well. This also serves more like 4-5 making it much higher in fat calories and cholesterol the end product produced 5 cups of soup. And that is 5 servings only if you stopped eating at 1 cup. :) Salt I don`t use and was needed so I did add. I also did add pepper flakes giving a nice kick. Used 4 cup of nappa cabbage. I also did add the 4th cup of vegetable broth even though the directions didn`t state to. I added when I saw it was a bit to thick. The dill seed was a nice touch.
