Default Cream Soups?

One other thing:
The biggest challenge facing anyone trying this recipe is to find a store
selling soy flour.
I live in a large city and so far, I've only found soy flour at my local
Whole Foods Market. I've tried Trader Joes and Bristol Farms without
success.

You can order soy flour online from: www.arrowheadmills.com

The next challenge is to find the low carb soy milk.

The soy industry needs to get its act together and spread the word among
diabetics about how to use these products to make good food that keeps blood
sugars in the safe zone.
