Weight Loss Forum / WeightWatchers / February 2005What can I use instead of cream in soup?
Hi...I want to make a roasted garlic & tomato soup taste creamy. The garlic, onion, tomatoes and soup stock have no points so I want to keep it low. Any ideas on what to use instead of heavy cream? 1% milk seems like it would be fairly useless. I don't want to throw something in that would make it too many points or make it sour. Cheers, Melanie 154/151/140 How about FF evaporated milk? > Hi...I want to make a roasted garlic & tomato soup taste creamy.

I use it for my famous cream of mushroom soup - much creamier than fresh milk. Yum! I wish it wasnt the middle of summer where I am - all this talk of hot creamy soup is making me hungry! >> Hi...I want to make a roasted garlic & tomato soup taste creamy.

Another lovely soup-enhancement is quark, which is fat-free cream cheese. Very nice with mushrooms.  SignatureAnna (in UK) Start Weight: 174 lbs Goal Weight: 146 lbs Current Weight: 168 lbs What you could also do is no cream in the soup, but just before serving adding some fat free Philadelphia cheese. I do that quite often, adding the one with herbs, I guess you have that in the US as well ??

That would thicken it some and not add points if it was celery or carrots or something like that. ~D~ > > What you could also do is no cream in the soup, but just before serving > > adding some fat free Philadelphia cheese.

Will defenitely try it in a few cream of veg soups. If it wasn't for low point soups, I don't know if I could succeed on WW - they really fill me up.

I really like my zero and low point soups too, but have yet to try a really creamy one. I shall look out for FF Carnation too: could be a nice addition to the menu for cold day lunches. On warmer days we have salad. Cold days we need vegetable soup instead.

I do flex not core but I use the FF(LF) Cream of mushroom/chicken soups. Taste the same to me but much lower in fat 94%. I know this isn't core but the points wouldn't be too much would they? 3 points/cup. They are a newer item here on the east coast, so not sure if they are everywhere or not.

Add some corn starch (or other thickeners, such as tapicoa flour, potato flour, or xanthum gum if you have gluten allergies) to skim to thicken it and it will work just fine. Make a paste with the thickener and a little liquid first, then slowly add the rest, mixing as you go. This prevents lumps. Another option is to add a potato or two to the recipe, The potato starch will also act as a thickening agent. Shirley Hicks Toronto, Ontario I remember that recipe. Is that the guy that played music or is that Ray? What happened to Tony? Did he die from weight-related issues? Just curious.

He was only around for about a month from the time I first joined the group. I remember him mostly for saying it like it was and not beating around the bush.
