When you get to a point where you can tolerate soy milk, you can start making "cream" casseroles. You know the kind - the ones we all used to make with canned cream of mushroom/chicken/celery soup. I came up with this one off the top of my head a couple weeks ago... I haven't made this, but Rachel (BeckyT) did and said it came out really good.
Again, it calls for vegetables and such that you might not be able to tolerate right now. Onion might be a bit harsh for you, for example, so omit it and use some onion powder instead. And as always, go with vegetables that are safe for you. When I was starting out, all I ate was carrots, so don't feel bad if that's all you can do right now. Or, heck, if you can't do any at all! You'll get there.

Now, as for a casserole... hmm. It's been a long time since I've made
a "normal" casserole, because I've been eating bland, but I think I
can come up with something. How about...
Take 2 cups of soy or rice milk, put it in a saucepan, bring it to a
boil. Mix 3-4 tablespoons flour in with another 1/4 cup of cold soy
or rice milk, and stir it into the hot 'milk'. Let it cook until it
thickens, it'll only take a couple minutes. This will take the place
of a cream soup. Do you have chicken bouillon, the dry stuff? If so,
stir in 2 tsp of that. If you don't... hmm, let me know and I'll see
what I can think of.
To the pot, add 2 cups cooked rice, 2 cups cooked chopped chicken, 1/2
tsp thyme, 1/4 tsp pepper, 1/4 cup chopped onion, and whatever veggies
you want to add. I'd totally do some canned mushrooms, if you have
them. Make sure it's still a little on the liquidy side... add more
milk or some chicken broth if needed. If it seems too liquidy, add
more rice or chicken.
Pour into a casserole dish, cover with foil, and bake at 350 for 35-45 minutes.
That should work. Heh. It will probably need salt and pepper when
it's done, almost definitely, but I don't know how your tastes go, so
I won't suggest adding any more... I salt things like mad, so my taste
buds are a little screwy.
