Instructions

  1. Mise En Place

    Gather and measure all ingredients; set out a pot, cutting board, knife, peeler, spoon, ladle, and measuring jug. · 8 min

    What to look for: All vegetables are cut, dill is chopped, and cream and broth are measured.

  2. Soften Spring Onion

    Melt clarified butter in the pot over medium heat, add sliced spring onion, and sauté until soft and glossy, about 4 minutes. · 4 min

    What to look for: Spring onion looks translucent, glossy, and lightly softened without browning.

  3. Add Vegetables

    Add carrot and potato to the softened onion, stir for 2 minutes to coat, then pour in vegetable broth and scrape the pot base. · 4 min

    What to look for: Vegetables are shiny from butter and fully covered by the hot broth.

  4. Simmer Until Tender

    Simmer gently for 20 minutes, adjusting heat so the soup bubbles lightly, until the potato and carrot are tender. · 20 min

    What to look for: The broth bubbles gently and the vegetables look softened but not falling apart.

  5. Finish With Dill

    Stir in finely chopped fresh dill, heavy cream, nutmeg, salt, and black pepper; warm briefly without boiling to keep the dill bright. · 3 min

    What to look for: The soup turns creamy with vivid green flecks of dill throughout.

  6. Serve Immediately

    Serve immediately in warm bowls while the dill is vivid green and aromatic, because the color fades if the soup waits. · 1 min

    What to look for: Bowls are filled with hot, creamy soup and bright green dill remains fresh-looking.

Ingredient substitutions

Fresh dill

  • Frozen dill: Use only if fresh dill is unavailable; the aroma and color will be less vivid.

Potato

  • Waxy potato: Holds its shape well during simmering and keeps the soup traditional.

Carrot

  • Young carrot: Gives a slightly sweeter, more delicate flavor while staying true to the soup.

Spring onion

  • Spring onion green: Use the green part for a lighter onion flavor and gentle sweetness.

Clarified butter

  • Sunflower oil: Use when clarified butter is unavailable; the soup will be less buttery.

Nutmeg

  • Black pepper: Use only if nutmeg is unavailable; it will add warmth but not the same sweet aroma.
