I recently discovered a "cream" substitute made by Almond Breeze. I think I'll try it out with veg boullion to make a vegetarian version. I'll let you know how it goes - 10/28/09

Everyone liked this soup when I introduced it to my family at Thanksgiving but I personally thought it was a little too tart because of the Granny Smith apples I used. Next time I will use Braeburn apples or one of each type to make the tartness a little more subtle. I also added a dash of cinnamon - 11/28/08

I saw a similar recipe in a magazine and made it vegan by subbing in vegetable broth for the chicken broth and earth balance soy spread for the butter (which my recipe had as opposed to the cream) I made it for a friend at work who is having dental problems and can't do solid foods-TASTY! - 9/30/08
