This hearty rustic soup is quite unique with its eye-catching red color. Ready to serve a crowd in about an hour, this dish brings together all the best nutritious vegetables of winter. Allspice, though not an actual combination of spices, tastes like a blend of nutmeg, cinnamon and cloves. Leaving out the allspice will change the flavor profile to a more earthy one. The sprinkle of fresh dill over each bowl before serving provides a beautiful contrast of color. This soup is great with some grilled bread slices or as a starter soup for a dinner party.
