For a richer flavor, try using homemade chicken broth or adding a Parmesan rind to the soup while it simmers. Feel free to add other vegetables to the soup, such as celery, zucchini, or spinach. If you don't have fresh dill, you can substitute 1 tablespoon of dried dill. The soup can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently before serving.
