Low FODMAP goulash soup
Goulash soup is a delicious winter recipe. Hearty, filling and super tasty. Amazing to eat on a cold day. Normally goulash soup contains quite a lot of onion, but of course, I left that out in the low FODMAP version.
You can add some of the green parts of the spring onion for an onion flavour, but I didn’t do that and I didn’t miss it at all. Often there are also potato cubes added to goulash soup. I am not a fan of that, so I left this out too.
But if you like, you can add 150 g of potato cubes to the soup at the end (when you also add the green beans).
I am very happy with this recipe for low FODMAP goulash soup, if I may say so!

Notes
*Bell pepper has been retested in 2022 and is limited low FODMAP. Red bell pepper is low FODMAP in smaller quantities than green bell pepper. Therefore I advise using green bell pepper.

When I studied abroad in Germany, my host family made the most amazing goulash. “Goulash” is just such a completely different thing in the U.S., so I’m really excited to give this a try!
Delicious. I added carrots and potatoes too because it just needed more stuff. If I’d used more beef would have had to but honestly really added to it.

The text is not correct! Red bell pepper is low…..etc.
