For a richer bisque, substitute half-and-half or heavy cream for the milk. Fresh dill can be used in place of dried dill. Use about 1 tablespoon of chopped fresh dill, and add it during the last 5 minutes of simmering. If you prefer a thicker bisque, you can create a slurry by mixing 1 tablespoon of cornstarch with 2 tablespoons of cold water. Stir this into the bisque during the last 5 minutes of simmering. Consider adding a splash of dry sherry or white wine for added depth of flavor. Garnish with fresh parsley or a dollop of sour cream or creme fraiche for an elegant presentation.
