Ladle into serving bowls. Garnish with sour cream and dill. Enjoy!
For a vegetarian option, omit the pork sausage and use vegetable broth instead of water. Consider adding a squeeze of lemon juice or a splash of vinegar to brighten the flavors.
Fresh dill is preferable for garnish, but dried dill can be used in a pinch.
Adjust the amount of sugar, salt and pepper to your personal preference.
