Can I sub oat or almond milk for cream in a soup/chowder recipe?

I'm lactose intolerant so trying to find an alternative.

Careful with the creamers....sometimes they have a strange after taste. I haven't had much success with them as a substitute.

My son is allergic to the protein in cow's milk so,I use plain (not vanilla flavored) Silk almond milk in my soups/ chowders etc.
I don't have any problems with this. The only thing is it's a slight off color. I also use Earth Balance (sold in sticks or tubs) for butter. Which works/tastes EXACTLY like real butter. It isn't all weird like other butter substitutes....

Hi Kate! Some non-dairy milks separate a bit when they're cooked, so I'd wait to stir it in until the very end. My first picks would be full-fat coconut milk or an extra-creamy oat milk. You can also find unsweetened non-dairy creamers, which might be nice!
