How do you get creamy soup without dairy? Quite easily – COCONUT MILK.
Jump to RecipeI use coconut milk for everything. I started reducing dairy in my diet because of what I was reading and hearing about dairy. I am not a scientist and I am not promoting dairy free. The result was I started using coconut milk in all my recipes. I love its consistency and don’t feel that I lose any of the flavor of cream.
I use 4 different types of coconut milk. I most frequently use coconut milk from the non-dairy fridge at the grocery store. I use this form for my Mac N Cheese and my soups. I also use regular fat and lite coconut milk from the cans for most of my recipes. I use this type for my curries. I use coconut cream rarely but have used it in Indian food and desserts.
My Dairy Free Vegetarian Corn Chowder has lots of flavor. It begins with a mirepoix – celery, carrots and onions. The two keys to this recipe are fresh thyme (I used thyme herbs that I had frozen from a previous use) and adding the ear of the corn. I have started adding the ear of corn to many recipes. There is more flavor in the cob than the actual corn.
