heavy cream

🥗Healthier: Greek yogurt

💰Cheaper: milk + cornstarch

Greek yogurt reduces calories while maintaining creaminess

butter

🥗Healthier: olive oil

Add chopped onion and garlic; sauté until softened, about 3-4 minutes.

Stir in fresh spinach and cook until wilted, about 2-3 minutes.

Pour in vegetable broth and bring to a simmer; cook for 10 minutes.

Blend the mixture until smooth using an immersion blender or a regular blender.
