In a medium saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat, then add chopped onion.

Add the flour and stir continuously to make a roux. Cook for about 2-3 minutes until it turns a light golden color.

Add chopped dill and continue to cook and stir the mixture, adding salt and pepper, then add water and whipped cream until it begins to thicken.

Ensure the sauce is boiling on medium heat before adding lemon juice.

Add the lemon juice to taste and a teaspoon of honey to balance the flavors.

Let the sauce simmer on low heat for about 2-3 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking.

At the end, add soy sauce and simmer for another minute.

Serve the dill sauce hot over roasted beef or hard-boiled eggs and traditional Czech dumplings.
