Basically the title, I want to make baked potato soup and while I have a good vegan cheese and sour cream I like to use in other soups, I’ve never tried making such a traditionally dairy heavy soup. I have tried a coconut based heavy cream substitute, but I found it to be a bit sweet. Is there a better heavy cream sub for a more savory flavor? Or maybe the brand I bought just happened to be sweet? Any advice is welcome!
I like to throw peanut mush/butter (the non-sweet kind) into all kinds of things that want to be creamy. Just make sure no one’s allergic to it…
Peanut mush… I am unfamiliar with this? Is it like unsweetened peanut butter?
To be honest, I’m a bit unsure about the name in English. Here in Germany, it sells as “Erdnussmus”, which is verbatim “peanut mush”. Well, and that’s also quite a good description of it, it is literally just pureed peanuts. As in, there is only 1 ingredient in it.
Wikipedia lists “natural peanut butter”, which sounds roughly correct: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peanut_butter#Types
But stores seem to also sell sweetened peanut butter as “natural”…
But yeah, basically unsweetened non-crunchy peanut butter, but also without the other stuff they tend to throw in there. Maybe it also works well with that other stuff, I haven’t actually tried…
