Preparation:
In a large pot, saute onions in 6 tablespoons butter along with dill seed, dill weed, and herbs for 5 minutes, or until onions are translucent.
Add tomatoes and chicken stock and heat.
Make a roux by blending 2 tablespoons butter and 2 tablespoons flour, whisking constantly over medium heat for 3 minutes, without browning. Add roux to stock and whisk to blend. Add salt and pepper. Bring to a boil, stirring occasionally. Reduce heat and simmer for 15 minutes. Add chopped parsley, honey, cream and half and half. Remove from heat and puree.
Strain. When ready to serve, reheat and serve with a dollop of sour cream. |
