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 added 2 tablespoons of lactose-free cream cheese as an option. This is a replacement for the sour cream that is often added to goulash soup. In the Netherlands, we don’t have lactose-free sour cream yet. But if you can find a lactose-free sour cream, you can use that instead.
I am very happy with this recipe for low FODMAP goulash soup, if I may say so!

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.
