A vegan update to soups and sauces

Our friends at ChefSteps, a food and technology company based in Seattle, are chock-full of cooking tips and tricks that are easy to employ in a home kitchen. Today, they share a dairy-free alternative to cream, to be used in sauces or soups, or in finishing dishes like risotto or paste.

Pureed roasted onions not only eliminate the dairy from your dishfor vegan, lactose intolerant, or simply health-conscious home cooks — but also provides an additional punch of flavor and brightness, and an extra serving of vegetables besides.
