Creamy Protein Soup is a comforting, high-protein meal made with blended vegetables and creamy ingredients like Greek yogurt or cottage cheese. It’s smooth, flavorful, and easy to customize with your favorite herbs, spices, and protein sources.

Ingredients

  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 medium onion, chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 4 cups vegetable or chicken broth
  • 3–4 cups cooked vegetables (e.g., cauliflower, carrots, broccoli)
  • 1 cup Greek yogurt or cottage cheese
  • 1 scoop unflavored protein powder (optional)
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • Optional: 1 teaspoon dried herbs (thyme, basil), 1 tablespoon lemon juice, or 2 tablespoons nutritional yeast

Instructions

  1. Heat olive oil in a large pot over medium heat.
  2. Add chopped onion and cook for 4–5 minutes until softened.
  3. Stir in garlic and cook for 1 more minute.
  4. Add cooked vegetables and broth. Bring to a simmer and cook for 10–15 minutes.
  5. Turn off the heat. Stir in Greek yogurt or cottage cheese, and protein powder if using.
  6. Use an immersion blender (or transfer to a blender) to puree until smooth and creamy.
  7. Season with salt, pepper, and optional lemon juice or herbs to taste.
  8. Serve warm and enjoy.

Notes

  • Use cauliflower or carrots for a naturally thick and creamy base.
  • To make vegan, use plant-based yogurt and vegan protein powder.
  • For extra richness, add shredded cheese or nutritional yeast.
  • Blending thoroughly makes the soup smooth and velvety.
