There are two ingredients that make this soup more than your average chicken soup.  The dill makes the perfect bit of zest that is addicting.  The bouillon paste makes the flavors so rich and vibrant.  Can I describe food that way?  Make this ASAP!  And if you are taking a meal to a friend, add this to the list.  Inviting family over?  Serve this and let the praises roll in.
