Ingredients

• Greek Yogurt: Unmistakably tangy, Greek yogurt is a key ingredient in the soup, bringing thick creaminess and a light color. Avoid using flavored or sweetened Greek yogurt, as these often contain added sugars, which will raise the overall carb content. Instead, opt for all-natural, no-added-sugar Greek yogurt.
• Heavy Cream: A blissful partner to Greek yogurt, heavy cream thickens the soup and provides a lusciously thick texture. Heavy cream provides richness, making the soup feel comforting and satisfying with every spoonful.
• Feta Cheese: Feta cheese has a salty tang, bringing a depth of flavor to the soup, along with a boost of creaminess. High-quality feta cheese has a buttery texture, and when paired with olive oil, it brings a hit of Mediterranean flavors.
• Vegetable Broth: As the cream, yogurt, and feta all create a thick soup texture, vegetable broth is the ideal addition to thin everything down. Vegetable broth tends to be slightly sweet, which is exactly what the soup needs to provide a contrast to the many salty ingredients.
• Sliced Ham: Thin deli ham slices add bulk to the soup, making it filling and satisfying. Thin ham is tender with a natural saltiness, bringing texture to the soup along with gorgeous pops of soft pink.
• Red Onion: Sautéed red onion in olive oil becomes sticky and sweet, providing a tasty base for the soup. Only one red onion is needed, and dicing it finely will help it cook quicker, becoming glossy and lightly browned.
• Garlic: Nothing beats the robust flavor of fresh garlic, and three minced cloves awaken the ingredients in the soup, bringing sweet, warm depth. Micing the garlic ensures there are no large chunks that could potentially escape the blender.
• Olive Oil: Earthy with a slightly peppery flavor, olive oil is the ideal ingredient for sauteéing the diced red onion, softening each piece. Garnishing with a swirl of olive oil echoes the flavors within and creates a stunning glossy finish on top of the ham-topped soup.
• Seasonal Green Herbs: Garnishing dishes isn’t a must, but putting a few moments of effort into the aesthetic of the soup makes it feel special. Seasonal herbs such as dill or parsley work great on top of the feta soup where forest green tones offset the pink ham and light color of the creamy ingredients within.
• Ground Black Pepper: When used in large quantities, black pepper has a fiery heat; however, a garnish of freshly ground pepper provides only a hint of warmth against the decadent soup. Use as much or as little black pepper as you like, adjusting the seasoning to your preference.
