Soup without dairy
4 soups from the library, and we checked every ingredient in every one of them before it went on this list.
527 of the 1,124 recipes in this library name dairy somewhere. Most often that means milk, yogurt or butter, then cheese, including cheddar and parmesan.
One thing worth knowing at the store: canned vegetables are allowed to contain butter even when a recipe never asks for it, so we keep recipes built on those cans off this list.
Of the 73 soups in this library, eight get their dairy from milk, five from butter, four from cheddar cheese and four from dry milk powder. Nothing on this list does.
