Notes

To elevate the soup, serve with a sprinkle of fresh dill and a wedge of lemon. Store in the fridge for 3-4 days or freeze for up to 3 months. Add a touch of broth or water while reheating to maintain the desired consistency. For added creaminess, stir in a dash of heavy cream just before serving.
