Soy Milk Cream Of Mushroom Soup
Soy milk cream of mushroom soup is silky, delicious and perfect for those who follow Kosher, gluten-free, or lactose-free diets.
The Backstory: Most cream of mushroom soups recipes cannot be used for Kosher meals where meat or poultry is being served, because they contain dairy products. Not true when you use soy milk. Also soy based products are lactose free and gluten free–another plus if you are catering to specific dietary lifestyles. For this recipe, I use Silk products. They are Kosher and delicious.

In this recipe you will have to adjust the seasonings to your taste.
