Low FODMAP Healthy Hearty Tomato Soup

Updated June 2022 by Serena Bansal Registered Dietitian BSc Hons

Tomato soup is one of my all time favourites and did you know that cooking tomatoes actually increases the amount of a phytochemical known as lycopene?

This helps the tomatoes to have a more antioxidant affect on your body so win-win for a beautiful tomato soup on a winter’s day!

One problem I do have though is trying to find one in the shops that isn’t full of cream. So try on this version and see what you think!

Ingredients (serves 4):

340g of cherry tomatoes
1 spring onion (green parts only)
1 tablespoon of olive oil
1.5 L of vegetable stock (ensure this is low FODMAP and contains no onion or garlic)
2 tbs mixed herbs
1 pinch of sugar (gasp yes! – it brings out the tomato flavour and is just fine in a small amount)
Pepper to season (no need for salt as it is already in the stock!)

Method

1. Sweat the spring onion in a pan with the oil for 10 minutes
2. Add in the tomatoes, herbs and sugar – stir continuously for 5 minutes
3. Add the stock and boil – simmer for 20 minutes
4. Add the pepper – simmer for 10 minutes
5. Use a hand blender to make a smooth texture

Enjoy!
