Oh my...that sounds really good. We recently tried almond milk - yummmm..but didn't think about using it in cooking..."B" drinks it like dessert!
Yum!!! I have never had almond milk. I recently saw a recipe for it simmered in a crockpot with saffron as a desert drink. I am going to try the soup sometime! Love broc. cheese soups!
Make sure to use unsweetened almond milk or it will be a very sweet soup.
