10 Dairy-Free Soup Recipes

That Everyone Will Love

Many soups & chowders get their decadence from milk, heavy cream or butter, so if you don’t eat dairy, it can be tough finding a cozy recipe that fits your diet.

Not to worry, friend: We found 10 dairy-free soup recipes that are just as nourishing and delicious as their lactose-laden cousins. Many of them are vegetarian, and some are even totally vegan.

1. CARROT, FENNEL & MISO SOUP

Complete with an umami-laced, crunchy pumpkin seed-pine nut topper. Be sure to cook the vegetables long enough so all their natural sugars are coaxed out.

2. SPLIT PEA SOUP WITH BACON AND BEER

Far more delicious than canned soup. Chalk it up to the homemade sourdough croutons, sherry vinegar & an entire can of pale lager.
