Many soup recipes can easily be adapted into dairy free soups using your favorite dairy-free products. For dairy-free milk, we often use Oatly full-fat milk or Planet Oat milk. If a recipe originally called for butter, we substitute with Country Crock Plant Butter. We’ve also tried Country Crock’s plant-based cream, and we really like it!
