Ingredients - 1 tablespoon olive or canola oil - 1 onion, chopped - 6 ounces cress (this is approximate; use more or less if you wish) - 2 cups chicken or vegetable stock - 1 cup orange juice - 1/2 cup plain yogurt - salt and pepper Light and very refreshing, this soup can be served either hot or cold. Directions

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
