I made this soup last week and shared it on my Instagram. And I got a split of messages – half that had no idea of it and had never heard of it. And then the other half remembered it from childhood but had no idea how to make it. To me, it’s a sign that its summertime. The key though is they have to be fresh veggies—all of it. Freshly picked from the garden or it just won’t taste the same.
Lots of names for this soup exists like creamed veggies, summer stew, Mormon soup, and summer soup. No matter what you call it, it’s so so tasty.
All you need is potatoes, peas, carrots, fresh dill, heavy cream and cornstarch.

Instructions
