I so wanted this to be a great recipe. It looked beautiful and I got an "Oh! This is going to be great!" feeling when I put the dill in the pot. Unfortunately, when I tasted it, I too thought there was something missing. I added pepper and that helped a little. Then I thought about cheese but didn't get the chance to work with it any more. I think I'll pass on making it again but it could be a winning recipe with just a little "something."11/15/07

This was just delicious!!! I agree with the others that it tastes like it could have a lot more fat and calories than it actually does. Will keep this one!10/31/07
