Ingredients
- 3 garlic heads
- 3 potato medium

- parsley for garnish
- 1 teaspoon olive oil
- 1 teaspoon butter
Instructions
- Peel and slice the garlic.
- In a pan, heat up the oil and butter, add the garlic, and stir for about one minute, so that the garlic can soften a bit.
- Peel and chop the potatoes and celery, add them to the pan together with the vegetable stock and cook for 15 minutes, or until the vegetables are tender.
- Transfer everything to a blender, and blend until smooth.
- Add one spoonful of soup to the yogurt, mix well, then add a few more spoonfuls until the yogurt is warm.
- The yogurt can now be added to the soup. Mix well, season with salt and pepper, and garnish with parsley.
- Serve hot!

Notes
- It's important to have the yogurt (cream, sour cream or anything else you add) at room temperature before adding to a hot soup. Even if it curdles, the taste is still good, but the texture won't be as nice and smooth. So we need to temper the yogurt first.
- Add one spoonful of hot liquid to the yogurt, mix well, then add a few more, until the yogurt is warm. When it's added to the soup, the texture won't change, and the soup will be creamy and smooth.
