Blah..made exactly as directed..AND let it sit few a few days bc a lot of reviews stated thats what really made this soup good...just not a winner. I was expectling and more "sweet and sour" flavor and it just didnt hit the mark even after making it more sweet and sour myself.

The recipe was a dud! I will not make it again. The sour cream helped, but the dill was overpowering. I love Rachael, but this wasn't for me.

Very good...I made the following changes as I never follow a recipe exactly. I used pork cubes, no honey, no stock, no beans. The broth was sweet enough w/o adding honey. I added left over pickled red cabbage and homemade carrot relish. Instead of sour cream, I topped it with greek yogurt..a must and don't forget the dark rye bread! Both my husband and I enjoyed this soup on a cold winter night in Colorado. I will definitely make this again!
