Soup Recipes for Dairy Free Diet

This guest post comes to us from Caroline Verleyen, one of our newsletter subscribers. Thanks for sharing these great recipes Caroline!

Below are 2 dairy free soups that I have made – both are delicious and are “main dish soups” – filling and nutritious. If you try them out, let me know how they taste in the comments section below.

Creamy Fish Chowder

Ingredients:

• 2 tbsp olive oil
• 1 leek – white and light green parts diced
• 1 onion diced
• 1 celery stalk diced
• ½ red pepper diced
• 1 clove garlic minced
• Bay leaf
• ¼ tsp salt
• ¼ tsp paprika
• 2 bottles clam juice
• 1 large Yukon gold potato diced
• ¾ cup water
• 12 ounces cod or halibut fillets cut in 1 inch chunks
• 2 tbsp chopped fresh parsley or 1 tsp dried

Preparation:

In large saucepan, heat olive oil over medium-high heat; sauté leek, onion, celery, red pepper, garlic, bay leaf and salt for about 5 minutes until leek and onion are softened. Stir in paprika. Stir in 2 bottles of clam juice, potato and water. Bring to a boil, cover, simmer for about 10 minutes until tender.

Using immersion blender or regular blender, puree about half of soup until desired consistency is achieved. Return to simmer and add fish, simmering for 5 minutes until fish flakes easily with a fork. Discard bay leaf and stir in parsley.

Serves 6.
