_Making Substitutions For Cream |

Print this Recipe
I am often asked if it is okay to substitute milk for cream in soups. The answer is "sometimes," and to help you figure out when "sometimes" is, you need to consider what the cream is doing in a particular soup recipe. Cream gives a soup dairy sweetness and a rich mouth-feel. Without it, the pulpiness of vegetables, like sweet potato, is a bit more obvious, and the spices and vegetable flavors are less blended. Milk provides sweetness, and will help to marry the disparate flavors in the soup, but milk does not contain enough fat to affect mouth-feel. In this recipe the sweet potato is providing some richness, which will make up for part of the difference between the cream and the milk. So in this soup substituting milk for cream could be a viable option.
