I have a delicious autumn and winter staple recipe for you: low FODMAP potato soup. A lovely creamy potato soup that makes a delightful starter or lunch.

This simple recipe can be used as a base and you can vary it however you want, for example by adding different kinds of toppings.

The ingredients of the soup

The ingredients of this soup are simple:

• Potatoes: I use starchy potatoes for this recipe. Here in the Netherlands, we call them crumbly or slightly crumbly potatoes. In other countries, a good type of potato to use would be Russet gold potatoes.
  
• Carrots: I like adding some vegetables to my soup, so I add carrots. This can also be left out if you don’t have any carrots on hand.
  
• Leek/spring onion: for some greens and extra flavor, I use the green part of leek in the soup and the green part of spring onion or scallion for garnish.
  
  Make sure you only use the green parts because the white part is high in FODMAPs.
  
• Stock: for the stock, I use stock cubes that are low FODMAP. Make sure to check the ingredients to make sure that no high FODMAP ingredients have been added.
  
• Lactose-free milk, butter, and a bit of gluten-free flour

Toppings

You can add different toppings to this soup to make it even yummier. I add some grated cheddar cheese. I love the strong flavor of this cheese! And some spring onion.

I wanted to make this soup vegetarian, so I didn’t add any meat. But if you want, you can also add some bacon as a topping.

A dollop of lactose-free sour cream is also great as a topping.

Is this low FODMAP potato soup healthy?

Many potato soup recipes use cream or full-fat milk. I opted to use reduced-fat milk and only some sour cream for the topping.

This makes this low FODMAP potato soup recipe relatively light and healthy.

How to store

You can store this soup in a sealed container. Keep it in the fridge for up to 3 days. I wouldn’t advise freezing this soup.

Because the soup contains dairy it will get a curdled texture when it thaws. Eating it fresh is best.

Low FODMAP budget recipe

This soup is a budget recipe. Below you can see the estimated cost for this recipe at the moment of publishing.

Note: I am in the Netherlands, so I use Dutch supermarket prices in my calculation from the supermarket Albert Heijn:

• Starchy potatoes, 1 kg: €1,89
• Large carrot, 1 piece: €0,35
• Leek, 1 piece: €0,69
• Spring onion, one bush: €0,65
• Lactose-free milk, 1 liter: €1,29
• Grated cheddar cheese, 150 g: €2,39

Total: €7,26 / €1,81 per serving

From the pantry: stock cube, gluten-free flour, and butter.
