This soup should be made with fresh vegetables. Serve with a bread and cheese platter as they do in Finland. If you can't get fresh shelled green peas, use frozen tiny green peas.

I'm not sure if I'm missing something, but this soup just doesn't taste like anything.

This soup is a bit too sour for my taste. I think I'll add a little bit of sugar next time.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my soup turned out bland. Maybe I didn't add enough salt?

This soup is a great way to use up leftover vegetables. I had some extra carrots and potatoes, and they were perfect for this soup.

I was a bit hesitant to try this soup because I'm not a big fan of dill. But I'm so glad I did! The dill is actually very subtle and it pairs perfectly with the other flavors in the soup.
