Notes
You can use any dairy free milk substitute you would like. I have made this with soy, almond and coconut milk and we enjoyed all the versions but my favorite is almond milk.
If you are short on time, pick up a bag of frozen chopped carrots and onions to use instead of chopping your own.
Although tomato puree is best because it is thicker, if you cannot find it, you can use tomato sauce and tomato paste. Use one can tomato sauce and 2 Tablespoons tomato paste.
Also, you can swap canned diced tomatoes for the stewed tomatoes if you prefer.
