I love cold soups, especially on a hot day, and this Creamy Greek Yogurt and Vegetable cold soup is refreshing as well as nutritious. Make sure to use a brand of plain Greek yogurt that contains strains of lactobacillus acidophilus such as Fage, one of my personal favorites. This will give you the probiotic benefits of the yogurt.
Probiotics help to control the flora and fauna in your body and keep it in balance. The lactobacillus acidophilus, contained in yogurt is a beneficial bacteria that will help to improve your digestion, help prevent stomach ailments, and even help with respiratory infections. Mixed with tomato, vegetables and flavored with dill, garlic, and honey, this soup provides anti-oxidants and immune system protection.
