There is no valid use for soy "milk" *shudder*. Tell your friend to buy
the Lactaid milk like the rest of us.

This is really NOT an exciting suggestion but I used to use soy milk
to make smoothies... banana, frozen peach or raspberries, a little
vanilla or maple extract, ice, soy milk. Very good, if you like that
kind of thing, but probably not what you're looking for in a recipe.

I keep that stuff around so I don't have to deal with company.

I suspected this would be the best answer I'd get. I'll go pour that
quart of soy milk down the drain now. Thanks.

Personally, I would use it. Soy milk tastes pretty good to me.
