Low FODMAP Tomato soup with meatballs

I felt like eating tomato soup with meatballs all week. This isn’t a normal feeling for me during spring. Because usually, I don’t eat soup so often in the warmer seasons. But guess what, it feels like winter here. Last week when I was cycling to work in the morning, it was -2! I took out my winter coat and gloves again, ugh. This kind of weather totally justifies eating soup and because I didn’t have a recipe for low FODMAP tomato soup on my blog yet, I created one for you.

I love having a lot of meatballs in my soup, also because I usually eat this soup as a main dish and the meat fills you up a bit better. If you want to serve the soup as a starter, you can also use a little less meat, for example about 100-150 g.

What do you need (for 2 servings)

For the soup

• 1 stalk of spring onion, only the green part
• 6 tomatoes
• 1 roasted bell pepper (check the ingredients for FODMAPs)
• 50 g tomato paste
• 500 ml water
• 1 low FODMAP stock cube
• 1 tbsp garlic infused oil
• Oregano and basil
• Pepper and salt
• Optional: fresh basil (as you can see on the picture, I used parsley, but this was only because they didn’t have fresh basil in the supermarket anymore and I still had parsley at home)

For the meatballs

• 200 g minced meat (I used half pork, half beef)
• 1-2 tbsp low FODMAP bread crumbs or ground oats (make sure to check the ingredients if you use gluten-free bread crumbs, often high FODMAP ingredients are added)
• ½ tsp paprika powder
• ½ tsp cumin
• Pepper and salt

How to prepare the low FODMAP tomato soup with meatballs

1. Use a knife to cut a cross into the top of every tomato. Put the tomatoes into a pan with hot water. Like this, the skin will loosen up and you can easily peel the tomatoes. Remove the tomatoes from the water after a few minutes and peel them.
2. Cut the tomatoes into pieces and cut the bell pepper into pieces too.
3. Heat a tablespoon of oil in a pan.
4. Add the green part of the spring onion, the tomatoes, the bell pepper and the tomato paste and fry for a few minutes.
5. Add the water and the stock cube. Bring the tomato soup to a boil and leave to simmer for about 20 minutes.
6. In the meantime, you can prepare the meatballs.
7. Put all ingredients for the meatballs into a bowl. Knead them together well and form little balls with your hands.
8. Use a hand blender to make the soup into a smooth mixture. Add salt, pepper, basil and oregano to the soup and taste.
9. Add the meatballs to the soup and leave to simmer for another 10-15 minutes. Check if the meatballs are done after about 10 minutes.
10. Serve the soup with some fresh basil. You can also add some lactose-free cream if you like.

Enjoy!
