- 0.5 cup plain Greek yogurt
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 1 tablespoon fresh lime juice
- 4 sprigs fresh mint leaves (for garnish)

Transfer the soup to a large bowl or pitcher, cover, and refrigerate for at least 1 hour to chill thoroughly.
When ready to serve, pour the chilled soup into individual bowls and garnish with fresh mint leaves.
