Dairy-Free Soup Recipes

By Ashley Skabar, About.com

Perfect for anytime of year, for lunch or dinner, for adults and kids, soups are comforting, warming dishes that unfortunately often contain dairy products. Classic soup recipes almost always use dairy products such as butter, milk, cream or all three, and many store-bought soups contain these or other dairy-derived ingredients. Perfect with dairy-free crackers or other dairy-free breads and rolls, these lactose-free recipes are healthier spins on your favorite soups.
