Hey Radish – You can definitely use soy milk in place of the milk/cream as I’ve done that quite often in the past with soups like this one when I’m out of cow’s milk but have soy on hand. My only hesitation is how to eliminate the butter for caramelizing the onions…I’ve only ever used butter but maybe you could try something like walnut oil instead. If you do try that, please let me know how it turns out as I’m curious.
