Pumpkin sweet potato soup
Pumpkin and sweet potatoes are real autumn and winter vegetables. I love them! Even though sweet potato is only limited low FODMAP, you can still use it in dishes in small amounts. That’s what I did for this low FODMAP pumpkin sweet potato soup.
Soup as a starter
I served this pumpkin sweet potato soup in small servings as a starter for Christmas dinner. This light soup is perfect for that! This soup has A LOT of flavour. The soup only contains one sweet potato, but you can still taste it very well. For some extra creaminess, I have added coconut milk to the soup. So good!
This recipe makes 6 small servings that are perfect to serve in a glass as a starter. If you want to eat this soup for lunch or dinner as a bigger serving, this recipe is good for 3 to 4 servings. Note that sweet potato is only low FODMAP up to a maximum of 75 gram per serving. If you are sensitive to mannitol or are still in the elimination phase, 1/4th of the recipe is a low FODMAP serving.
Do you want to be able to eat a larger serving? Then add some extra cubes of pumpkin to the recipe. Pumpkin (Japanese pumpkin, also known as kabocha or kent pumpkin) is unlimited low FODMAP. Note that butternut squash has also been tested but is only limited low FODMAP.
