Note: since 2022 this recipe is not suitable for the elimination phase anymore*

If I want to make a simple Christmas dinner, I often pick soup as a starter. Soup is delicious, but often quick to maken and good to prepare.

And that is perfect if you don’t want to spend hours in the kitchen on Christmas day. Today I have a simple recipe for a low FODMAP roasted bell pepper soup. This recipe is also vegan, gluten-free and lactose-free. 

You only need a handful of ingredients for this soup. I made the bell pepper soup with bell peppers, tomato, Italian herb mix, tomato paste and stock. You roast the bell peppers in the oven to give the soup a delicious roasted bell pepper flavour. 

I love a creamy topping in a soup. I used the vegan oat fraiche by Oatly as a replacement for crème fraîche. You could also use another vegan cream substitute, if oat fraiche is not available where you live.

If you don’t mind this soup not being vegan, you can also use lactose-free crème fraîche. I served the soup with some slices of low FODMAP baguette. 

*Note: in 2022 the low FODMAP amounts for tomatoes and red peppers have been adjusted. Both are now high in fructose at a fairly low amount, while previously they were unlimited low FODMAP. This recipe is therefore only suitable if you know that you tolerate fructose well. If you are still in the elimination phase or know that you are not good at fructose, I do not recommend making this recipe.
