I have a recipe that asks for powdered low fat milk (1 cup). It is a recipe for a dry cream soup mix that I am trying to convert to non-dairy. For a liquid recipe, I would just use soy or nut milk and I could do it on the back end when I recon'stitue it but I really want to have the"cream" be in the dry mix.
SO, is there a such a thing as a dry soy milk powder or even a dry nut powder that would work?
The recipe is as follows:
CREAM SOUP DRY MIX
1 c powdered lowfat milk powder
3/4 c cornstarch
1/4 c crushed instant chicken boullion cubes (I'm going for the lower sodium variety)
2 tbsp dried onion flakes
1 tsp dried basil
1 tsp dried thyme
1/2 tsp pepper
1 can reconstituted cream soup = 1/3 dry mix + 1 1/4 c cold water.Cook until thick.
1 batch dry mix yields 9 c reconstituted canned soup with 905 mg sodium/serving if made as written (that's why I might try to reduce by using low sodium buillion)
Shop around(web searches). It's out there.

For local options, begin scoutings health food stores, health sections in grocery stores. Who knows, maybe you'll luck into some in the regular grocery isle somewhere.
Amazon carries it (what doesn't Amazon sell?).
Using a Google search, I found it listed at a number of sites.
I agree that your local health food store or organic food co-op are good places to start looking. Maybe even the baby food section of your local supermarket.
I see it in a few health food stores. You can usually find it by the non-instant and skim milk powder, in the bulk section. Al
I buy it in the bulk section of my grocery store.
