Ingredients

  • 2 cups buttermilk
  • 1 cup plain yogurt
  • 2 tablespoons honey
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
  • ½ cup granola

Instructions

  1. 1

    In a large bowl, whisk together the 2 cups buttermilk, 1 cup yogurt, 2 tablespoons honey, 1 tablespoon lemon juice, and 0.5 teaspoon vanilla extract until smooth and well combined.

  2. 2

    Taste and adjust sweetness with extra honey if desired. The mixture should be tangy, creamy, and lightly sweet.

  3. 3

    Chill the soup in the refrigerator for at least 15 minutes, until cold. Meanwhile, divide the 0.5 cup granola among serving bowls.

  4. 4

    Ladle the chilled soup over the granola and serve immediately. The granola will soften slightly, adding a pleasant crunch.

  5. 5

    For extra flavor, stir in a pinch of ground cardamom or cinnamon before chilling if you have them.
