Any ideas? This recipe calls for 150mls which seems like loads would half cream half greek yogurt work? or should i just use the cream? Just wanted to make the soup healthier!

    I think greek yogurt would be fine or something like creme frachie (sp*) low fat of course.

    You can use half and half, or mix with the yogurt. Depending on what soup you are making you can chop cauliflower up really small and as it breaks down in the soup it adds a creamy texture that is amazingly satisfying. You can also use a little coconut milk. Hope these suggestions work.

    I use fat free evaporated milk a lot in soups that call for cream. Works well in chowder and in the low fat/low cal Zuppa Toscana recipe I make. Not super thick though so you may want to try the cauliflower trick (interesting!) too.

    Hi

    Fat free greek yoghurt works well as does reduced fat cream fraiche :)

    You can always substitute a lighter milk for cream. Even whole milk would be fine.

    Greek yogurt is more a substitute for sour cream
