Low FODMAP mushroom soup
If you quickly browse through your list with low FODMAP foods you might expect that mushroom soup is an absolute no go. But I can tell you, surprise, that is not true!
Normal mushrooms are high in FODMAPs, but canned mushrooms and oyster mushrooms are low FODMAP and with these mushrooms you can make a delicious low FODMAP mushroom soup.
Because the soup is made without cream it is a very light soup. Perfect as a little pick-me-up in the afternoon.
I sometimes prepare this soup in the weekend and take it with me to work. We have a microwave at the office where I can heat it up and especially in the colder months I love eating this as a hearty snack.
This recipe also makes a wonderful starter for the Christmas dinner or any other big dinner. As the soup is light, you won’t have the issue that your guests are already full by the time that the main course arrives. If you serve the soup in a small bowl, you can use this recipe for about 6 persons.

You say low fod map cubes or stock like everyone has them available
None in my part of the world i ve begged shops to carry them but i can t even buy them on line
Why cant there be a decent recipe without having to take a day and make a second rate experimental veg stock first?
You have a site, why won t you offer one or gasp two?
I m hungry for soup, it s cold winter, and i might just aswell boil some veg and call it soup
Hi Bev, I am sorry that you cannot find FODMAP stock cubes easily. Unfortunately, it is very hard to make recipes that are accessible for everybody around the world. I work with the ingredients that I can find. But in january I am sharing a recipe for low FODMAP vegetable stock, which you can make yourself in about an hour. So I hope that will help 🙂
How about telling us where you got your low FODMAP stock cubes? If it can be purchased online, then problem solved. It’s an easier fix than providing a recipe to make the stock. Some of us just don’t have the time.
Hi Donna, I am trying to create recipes that are approachable for everybody, but unfortunately I cannot provide solutions for everything. I am from the Netherlands, so it is hard for me to give advice on which stock cubes to buy in other countries. That’s why I didn’t mention it, you could try asking in the FODMAP Facebook group from your country which low FODMAP stock cubes are available in your country.
I am not sure if you are aware, but the tone you used in this comment sounds pretty unfriendly and demanding. You are always welcome to ask questions and I am happy to help, but please remember there is another human on the other side of the screen.
I use Better than Bouillon. It’s not in cubes, but a concentrated paste. The chicken and beef varieties have no onion or garlic in them and are awesome.
For anyone in the US, UK, or Australia, you can buy Massel 7 vegetable stock cubes online or I’ve seen it in some stores in the US. Since I’m not vegetarian or vegan, I might make this with Savory Choice chicken broth (low fodmap) instead of mixing water and veggie cubes. I wish it was cold right now because this looks so tasty! Thank you for this tempting recipe!
Thank you for sharing!
I just looked them up on line and beside being Monash certified, they are Kosher as well. So hard to fine products that meet both my needs. Thanks for the recommendation.
I’m making this now. Even in warm weather we love soup.
I sense that tone of the people looking for the FODMAP bullion cubes is more out of frustration than unfriendly. Other options are Bay’s soup stock paste (British) and Fody soup stock powder ( American.) I personally like the Fody vegetable stock over Bay’s, but when it comes to chicken stock, Bay’s is better.
You are probably right! And while I really understand how frustrating it can be when you cannot find a certain low FODMAP product in your country, I also try to remind people that there is a human on the other side of the screen trying to do her best to give as many tips as possible. Because some comments can sound really harsh for the receiver.
Your tips are super helpful, so thank you very much for sharing them 🙂 As I am in the Netherlands, it is hard for me to give good tips for stock for the US and UK.
