Basically the title, I want to make baked potato soup and while I have a good vegan cheese and sour cream I like to use in other soups, I’ve never tried making such a traditionally dairy heavy soup. I have tried a coconut based heavy cream substitute, but I found it to be a bit sweet. Is there a better heavy cream sub for a more savory flavor? Or maybe the brand I bought just happened to be sweet? Any advice is welcome!
my all time secret to any cream soup is instant potato flakes to thicken, that way i never have to use much dairy, i think that would take you there and then a big scoop of the sour cream for colour and flavour at the very end, coconut always tastes like coconut to me, but now i'm thinking of like a potato curry soup with chickpeas and stuff in it would be absolutely delish and if it weren't nearly 1am, i might be in that kitchen rn experimenting, thanks for the ideas op!
