Green salad soup with yogurt
Green salad soup is a light and tangy soup recipe, ideal for spring days when fresh ingredients are abundant. This light version, with yogurt, is perfect for those who want to enjoy a healthy dish, without eggs and without fried bacon. I will share with you the necessary steps to obtain a delicious soup with a refreshing taste that will bring the freshness of summer to your plate.
To prepare this soup, you will need the following ingredients: 300 g of fresh green salad, 1 small onion, 2 cloves of garlic, 1 liter of vegetable broth or water, 200 g of natural yogurt, juice from one lemon, salt and pepper to taste, as well as a few fresh mint leaves for decoration. First, you will need to wash the green salad well under cold running water to remove impurities. Then, you can cut it into smaller pieces so that it cooks evenly.
In a pot, add a little olive oil and sauté the finely chopped onion along with the crushed garlic until they become translucent and fragrant. This will take no more than 3-4 minutes. After the onion and garlic are ready, add the chopped green salad and mix everything well, allowing the ingredients to blend together. Pour the vegetable broth or water into the pot and bring to a boil. Once boiling, reduce the heat and let it simmer for about 10-15 minutes, allowing the flavors to develop.
After the soup has boiled, take a portion of the mixture and blend it with a blender until you achieve a smooth texture. This is the moment when you can add the natural yogurt and lemon juice, mixing well to obtain a creamy and slightly tangy soup. Taste the soup and season with salt and pepper to your liking.
Finally, pour the soup into bowls and garnish with fresh mint leaves. The green salad soup can be served hot or cold, depending on your preferences. It is a versatile dish, perfect as an appetizer or as a main course, alongside a slice of whole-grain bread. This recipe is not only healthy but also brings a touch of freshness in every bite, making it ideal for warm spring days. Enjoy every moment spent in the kitchen and savor this delicacy!
