Beat the Bloat - Learn How to Make a Popular Low FODMAP Soup Recipe
Video Transcript:
Many people suffering from IBS struggle to find delicious and satisfying soup options. This is because most traditional soups contain high-FODMAP ingredients like garlic and onions, which can worsen digestive symptoms.
Fortunately, there are plenty of low-FODMAP recipes available, including this flavorful pumpkin soup.
What are FODMAPs?
FODMAPs are a group of carbohydrates that are poorly absorbed in the small intestine. This can lead to digestive issues like bloating, gas, and diarrhea, especially for individuals with IBS. Thankfully, pumpkin is a low-FODMAP food, making it a perfect base for a delicious and IBS-friendly soup.
Low Fodmap Soup Recipe
Ingredients:
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 teaspoon mustard seeds
1 cup green leek tops, chopped
1 teaspoon each of cardamom, cumin, coriander, and turmeric
3 cups canned pumpkin puree (100% pumpkin)
4 cups roasted carrots, chopped
4 cups water
1 teaspoon salt
Low-lactose cream (optional)
Instructions:
Heat olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add mustard seeds and cook until they pop, releasing their flavor.
Add chopped leeks and cook for 2-3 minutes, until softened.
Stir in spices and cook for an additional minute.
Add pumpkin puree, roasted carrots, and water. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 10-15 minutes.
Use a handheld mixer to blend the soup until smooth. Adjust water amount to achieve desired consistency.
Season with salt to taste.
Serve warm with a dollop of low-lactose cream, if desired.
Tips:
Feel free to roast your own pumpkin instead of using canned puree. Simply chop the pumpkin into cubes, place on a baking sheet, and roast at 425°F (220°C) for 30-35 minutes, or until tender.
For a thicker soup, add less water or use less canned pumpkin puree.
This soup can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
You can also freeze the soup for longer storage.
