Okay, quick question:

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?

:-( I don't know if there's a large incidence of lactose intolerance around here or what, but all the grocery stores have one full cabinet (well, one door width) of soy dairy products in the dairy section and another section of soy cheese where the cheese is, plus tofu and soy meats in the produce section.

I've never *specifically* seen large containers of unflavored soy yogurt (well, I have, but I can't recall where) but there are usually two shelves of soy milk, two or three little shelves of little flavored soy yogurt, and then two or three more mid-sized shelves that hold larger tubs of I don't know what because I don't usually eat soy yogurt (well, the little flavored ones sometimes, especially lime flavor, I think that works particularly well with soy), but I've always assumed they held some variation of more soy yogurt and soy sour cream, and since there are a dozen different tubs, I assume some of them are unflavored. If that makes sense. But no, I've never actually inspected them.

How much do you need? I mean, if you buy the tiny containers on sale and you only need a cup or two, that might be worth it.

LOL. Raita tastes so good, back when they could all eat dairy, Jenn'd make a whole tub of it at a time, or two, even!
