Preparation

Step 1

In a large pot over low heat, heat olive oil and cook chopped onion without browning until it softens, 5 - 10 minutes.

Meanwhile, rinse and coarsely chop the cress.
Add cress, stock and orange juice to the onion and simmer for about 5 minutes.
Purée, preferably in the cooking pot using a hand held blender. If using a conventional blender, work in several batches to prevent splattering of hot liquid.
Whisk yogurt into puréed soup and add freshly ground pepper and salt to taste.
Reheat briefly, if necessary, but don't boil.
