Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Can I use a different type of yogurt instead of Greek yogurt?
A: Yes, you can substitute Greek yogurt with regular plain yogurt, but the soup may be slightly thinner in consistency. For a dairy-free option, you can use unsweetened coconut yogurt or another plant-based yogurt alternative.
Q: What can I use instead of vegetable broth?
A: If you don’t have vegetable broth, you can use water for a milder flavor. For a richer taste, consider using chicken broth (if not vegetarian) or even coconut water for a subtle sweetness.
Q: How should I store leftovers, and how long will they last?
A: Store any leftover soup in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Keep the Dill Radish Salsa in a separate container to maintain its texture. Stir the soup well before serving again.
Q: Can I make this recipe in advance for a party or meal prep?
A: Absolutely! This soup is perfect for making ahead. Blend and refrigerate the soup up to 24 hours in advance. Prepare the Dill Radish Salsa shortly before serving to keep it fresh and crunchy.
Q: What can I do if my soup is too thick?
A: If the soup turns out too thick, simply blend in additional vegetable broth or water, a little at a time, until you reach your desired consistency. Taste and adjust the seasonings as needed after thinning.
Q: Can I use dried dill instead of fresh dill?
A: Yes, you can use dried dill if fresh dill is unavailable, but reduce the quantity to about 1 to 1.5 teaspoons since dried herbs are more concentrated. Keep in mind that fresh dill adds a brighter flavor to the dish.
Q: What are some optional garnishes or variations for this soup?
A: You can add a drizzle of olive oil, a sprinkle of smoked paprika, or some finely chopped chives on top for extra flavor. For a heartier variation, serve the soup with crusty bread or croutons on the side.
