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!

    The yogurt will probably work, however it will change the flavor a bit since yogurt has that "bite" to it. What about just reducing the amount of cream or even eliminating it?

    You could thin the cream with skim milk.

    I will often use a mixture of 1/2 chicken broth and 1/2 skim milk, thickened with "Wondra" flour (it is finely sifted). Not sure what your soup is, but this works in most soups and/or sauces!

    The parsnip soup I make has no cream and it still 'creamy' due to the consistency of the parnsip. I'd omit the cream completely.

    I generally sub evaporated milk for cream in recipes.

    I use nonfat Greek yogurt in almost everything rather than cream cheese or cream or sour cream. So give it a go - what's the worst that can happen?

    Antique white emulsion perhaps!
