This classic, creamy, Finnish-style soup is stocked with summer vegetables and fresh dill.

My wife and recently vacationed in Sointula, a scenic, small town on Malcolm Island. If you’ve not been, it’s located just across from the Northern Vancouver Island town of Port McNeil, a 25-minute ferry ride away from Malcolm Island.

Some of those first settlers left, but others stayed. And you can learn all about their journey at Sointula’s museum , which is staffed by knowledgeable people and filled with interesting artifacts. We did, of course, also cook for ourselves and found supplies at the Sointula Co-op, which has been in operation since 1909, making it the oldest co-op in Canada.

While that occurs, place the milk, flour and sugar in a small pot and whisk well to combine. Add the butter, set the pot over medium heat, and bring this white sauce to a simmer, stirring occasional and ensuring it does not scorch on the bottom. When the white sauce is simmering, simmer 30 seconds, and then remove it from the heat.
