How it'll make your life easier
With your full-fat Greek yogurt, you'll get that delicious & silky creaminess, you'll get probiotics that are great for your gut and overall health, and you'll also get uber satisfying and actually not-bad-for you milk fat. I'd call that a win-win-win. Everybody wins.
Along with some healthy fats, this soup is chalk full of delicious spring asparagus.
Quick notes on this recipe
Is this soup healthy?
Instead of just focusing on all the nutrients in food, I like to step back and think about how I can incorporate more foods that I enjoy into my day. Healthy is a term that's more broad than we usually define it, and I'd definitely include stress and anxiety about food into how I define healthy eating. With that said, if you feel anxious and stressed about what you're putting into your body, you're not improving your health with that worry, even if you're putting lots of nutrient dense foods in your body.
Can I use different vegetables in this soup?
Absolutely, the base of stock, garlic, onions, and dairy products will go well with any vegetable really. I've had this soup with mushrooms instead of asparagus, it was so good & so creamy still. You can add whatever vegetables you have on hand that you like sauteed.
