- Add broth, water, chicken bouillon cubes, cubed potatoes, peas, chopped mint, dill weed, salt and pepper and bring to boil.
- Reduce heat, cover and simmer for 15 minutes or until vegetables are tender.
- Puree with immersion blender or process in a food processor and return to cooking pot and reheat.
- Adjust seasonings to taste.
- When serving, swirl in 1 tablespoon of sour cream or yogurt to each bowl.
