Cucumber Soup (Potato Soup)

 Mary C (Illinois) says:
Different but good - just finished my second bowl. I did make it with a few slight changes. Added 1/4 cup of pickle juice, 1 tbsp. lemon juice and 1 tbsp. apple cider vinegar. Used 8 small round potatoes cut very small w/the skin on. Didn't have fresh dill-used dill weed...Ok... But fresh would have tasted better. If my family doesn't like it, i'll be eating soup for several days. The light cream was a little expensive but if anything else was used then it would not have the same creamy taste.
