Okay, quick question:

[conuly]

Where can one buy a large container of unflavored soy yogurt?

Because, while eating my pumpkin tomato soup today (with sour cream on top for me, but not the kiddos, I'm afraid), I had the best idea ever!

I need to get some yogurt at once and proceed to make raita. Not Indian raita, but Tex-Mex raita, to take the place of sour cream. Take a minute to think how wonderful that would be. Mmmmmm....

But since the baby (this is her official name now - "I not Eva - I THE BABY!") can't have dairy and Angelique can't have dairy and Jenn can't have dairy and Elise and I probably shouldn't have all that cow's milk either, it's either soy yogurt or goat yogurt, and I suspect soy is going to be easier to find around here.

Any ideas?

Mmmm, pumpkin and tomato soup sounds yummy.

It is. Got the recipe off of (get ready for this name) Crescent Dragonwagon's site. Yes, she named herself, so you can't really blame the parents there.

Hey, it looks like I might be able to make that recipe! I looked up recipes last night, and the first one I found included heavy whipping cream*, so I just gave up right there.

Oh yes, I love that it's totally milk free, and she's right - you really can't tell. I mean, I like the sour cream to cool my mouth, but that's all :)

Though I make it a *little* differently than she does. I don't drag out the blender, I just chop the tomatoes small, and since it's lumpier already, I add things like fine chopped carrots and minced garlic and corn kernels.
