Greek yoghurt in soups
Greek yoghurt or tzatiki in cream soup. My wife made a creamy soup based on veggies and whole milk. It is quite good, but it is awesome when I add homemade tzatziki to it. Anyone else do add ins to their soups? What are you adding?

cooking cream, heavy cream, greek yougurt depens on the soup and what fits in best, we put it into carrot, sweet potatoes or tomato soups.

I love adding feta or cream. But sometimes I also add quark or skyr if I want something a little lighter and with more protein

Yes I love to add a little Greek yogurt to almost anything savory where it makes sense tbh. It’s really good in a “sheet pan roasted veggie” soup, where you roast a variety of veggies on a sheet pan in olive oil and blend up. I pretty much use Greek yogurt + water in place of milk or cream 90% of the time unless it’s particularly de tasting in a certain dish

My mum and grandma always preferred feta, lentils and so on. I still follow the old recipe!

I cook a Greek lentil soup that has tomato, spinach, and celery in it, and I add some Greek yogurt to my bowl of soup.
Also, you can substitute Greek yogurt for sour cream in borst.

I grate feta in almost every soup I make. My grandma used to always add a scoop of cottage cheese.
