Isn’t this a beautiful bunch of dill?
I bought it and knew I wanted to make a soup with it. Specifically a potato and dill soup. This is probably the simplest soup recipe ever. The potatoes cook up and add a nice creaminess to the soup. You don’t actually need the almond milk at the end but it’s kind of nice.
You can blend it up super smooth in your high-powered blender. Or, if you like some texture to your soup – like I do – you can use an immersion/stick blender and just whizz it up right in the pot leaving some larger chunks of potato.
This is the perfect spring rainy-day soup.

This soup looks delicious! I love potatoes and dill! I am finally growing dill in my garden and I have found the perfect use- your soup!
It’s such a warm and comforting soup. It really made me feel better after a few really rainy and exhausting days. I am growing some fresh dill in my garden this year (if I ever get my garden done). It’s one of my favorite herbs. I hope you like the soup.
I LOVE potato dill soup!!! It is one of Czech traditional soups and we make it in a similar way. We leave out the garlic and celery and cook the potatoes diced for texture. We add some lemon juice or vinegar at the end to taste. I will try your version soon
Hi Elisabeth, thanks for sharing! I didn’t even know it was a Czech traditional soup. I love the idea of adding lemon juice at the end. Mmm. I’m going to have to try your version soon too.
This soup is amazing! I love it so much!! Since becoming gluten-free on top of being vegan, it’s been hard to find really good recipes but your website is a taste-bud saver
Thanks!
Thanks so much Shannon. I’m glad you love the soup and have found inspiration here for your taste buds!
Had a similar soup yesterday, looking forward to trying this recipe tomorrow! How many servings does it make?
Hi Catherine, Sorry for not replying sooner! This soup should make between 4-6 generous servings. I’ll update the recipe to include that info. Thanks!
