These days I’ve been making pot after pot of soup to help keep us warm. We eat it for either dinner or lunch every day until it’s gone, then immediately make another pot of something new. One of my favorite soups this crazy winter is borscht — I am addicted to its combination of beets and fresh dill. Of course we eat it with lots of yogurt on top.

Actually, I love the tangy flavor of yogurt on top of almost any savory soup. The yogurt contributes to a beautiful presentation when serving. Scoop a little dollop on top of the soup, then a sprinkle of herbs — so pretty! When you’re ready to dig in, stir in the yogurt for a gentle, creamy texture and flavor. Or, if you’re a purist, scoop a bit of yogurt off the top with each spoonful of soup to keep the flavors separate but complimenting.
