Maybe use half rice milk and half soy milk!. You could even use coconut milk or oat milk to experiment with!. Add some pureed potatoes (maybe) to make it a little thicker and mix it up in a blender so the potato puree doesn't just stay in a blob!. Then add spinach and broccoli!. Use basil, onion powder, and a little garlic!. Making it sounds fun! Maybe I shall experiment!. If I do I'll tell you how it turns out!Www@FoodAQ@Com

Vegetarian, Cream of _____Soup,
I suggest looking on-line for a simple cream of mushroom receipe similar to Campbell Soups or another that you enjoyed and substitute ingrediants!.
Substitute Soy Milk for Dairy Cream which will be in keeping with going vegetarian and add your broccoli and/or spinach!. Food for thought, a lot of people like the New England Clam Chowder Soup!. You could leave out the clams and use Soy Milk instead of Dairy Cream!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

Yes I use Rice milk to make cream soups, also blended cooked potatoes work making a soup "creamy"!.
With raw soups we use soaked nuts & or avocadoes to make a "cream" style soup!.
For a broccoli or spinach soup, use salt, pepper, dill, fresh minced garlic precooked in oil!.
