Non-Dairy 'cream' of Mushroom Soup

Submitted by Demented Nana

"Low fat, low cholesterol 'cream' soup made without milk or cream. You can use almost any vegetable in this, or add a variety of seasonings to suit your own taste. My sister created this recipe after her husband had quadruple bypass surgery: he needed reduced fat and cholesterol, and she needed non-dairy."
