Ingredients

  • 3 heads of garlic
  • 3 medium potatoes
  • 1 celery stalk
  • 3 cups vegetable stock (broth)
  • 3 tablespoon Greek yogurt
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • ¼ teaspoon ground black pepper

  • 1 teaspoon olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon butter

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Peel and slice the garlic.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. Transfer everything to a blender, and blend until smooth.
  5. Add one spoonful of soup to the yogurt, mix well, then add a few more spoonfuls until the yogurt is warm.
  6. The yogurt can now be added to the soup. Mix well, season with salt and pepper, and garnish with parsley.
  7. 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.
