| 1. Melt butter in med-size stock pot over med heat. Add onion + garlic & saute till onions are soft, 10-15 minutes. | 2. Stir in dill, Old Bay Seasoning, tomatoes & smoked salmon. Cook 3 minutes. Then add flour & cook 1 min more. | 3. Gradually stir in water & heat to a soft boil. Reduce heat & simmer uncovered over med-low heat for 20 minutes. | 4. Stir in spinach & simmer 5 more minutes. | 5. Stir in cream cheese (1 oz at a time) over low heat, allowing ea bit to melt into the soup. | 6. When all the cream cheese has been added & the soup is smooth, stir in the vodka & lemon juice. Taste for seasonings & serve immediately. | 7. NOTES: I entered this recipe as given to me & made a half recipe w/2 chgs in my trial version. | 8. I left out the vodka (none in the house!), subbed dry white wine & frankly doubt I will ever use the vodka. I pd homage to a DH pers pref & subbed diced broccoli florets for the spinach. I pd homage to 1 of my own by adding 4 oz baby shrimp. | 9. Pers pref are often at the heart of any success a recipe enjoys. I found this soup in need of salt, but DH did not. He found the lemon juice a bit excessive, but I did not. Bottom line is tasting for your pers pref is advised. | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
