 Persian Yogurt Soup

If you are dairy free you can substitute the regular dairy yogurt with plain coconut or almond yogurt and Earth Balance for the butter. Don't let your different dietary needs stop you from making a recipe.

 Here are a few links to play with the idea of soup and see which ones will soon be on your families favorite list of meals.

Thursday " Tip "... Buttermilk

     Ever go to make a recipe or look up one and realize you have every thing you need, except buttermilk. Have no fear, there is a way to make buttermilk without running out to the store. This tip works for almond, coconut, soy or any other kind of non-dairy milk as well.

     For each cup of milk or non-dairy milk add 1 tablespoon of lemon juice or vinegar
(regular or apple cider vinegar will work). Stir it around and let it sit for 5 minutes.

     Another option - Mix 1 3/4 teaspoon of cream of tartar with a cup of milk, stir and let it sit for 5 min.

     Now that you have your buttermilk made... enjoy the process of baking/cooking!
