Pick Lactose Free Soups







Soup is a great dish to have if you want to eat healthy, lose weight or add variety to your diet. However, if you are trying to avoid lactose then there are certain varieties of soups that you will want to avoid. The following steps will help you pick great lactose free soups.








Instructions


1. Skip the cream soups. Soups like cream of mushroom, cheddar cheese soup and chowders generally need to be avoided. However, if you make these soups with lactose free milk or soy milk products, then you can still enjoy a bowl of cream soup.


2. Select a popular soup. Vegetable beef soup, chicken and rice soup, bean with bacon soup and split pea soup are all great lactose free soups that you can find in just about any supermarket. These soups are savory and served piping hot.


3. Freshen your palette with a fruit soup. Fruit soups are more popular in Asian and African countries. They can be served hot or cold and can be sweet or savory. An example of a fruit soup is winter melon soup. It is served hot and is a savory soup.


4. Sweeten things up with a dessert soup. Dessert soups are made from a sugar water solution and a variety of fruits and vegetables. One popular variety of dessert soups is the red bean soup. It is popular throughout Asia and is generally made with azuki beans and is served cold. During the summer months this dessert soup is sometimes frozen and eaten like a popsicle.
