I do not use evap milk or any dairy of any kind, and I use a smoked ham bone when cooking it to form a stock ,and saute mirepoix in bacon fat. 

Only time I add cream is if I am making a type of creamed pea soup called St Germaine which is topped off with a julianne of lettuce as a garnish. It's an old school soup found on classical menues

But even here in Florida on a cold  night  (40-50 F) it hits the spot
