- 0.5 cups plain Greek yogurt
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 1 tablespoon fresh lime juice
- 0.25 teaspoons ground cinnamon

Blend the mixture on high speed until completely smooth and creamy. If the consistency is too thick, you can add a few tablespoons of cold water to adjust.
Taste the soup and adjust the sweetness by adding more honey, if needed.
Chill the blended soup in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour before serving to enhance the flavors.
Before serving, pour the chilled soup into bowls and garnish with fresh mint leaves.
