Roasted Pumpkin Sage Soup (Low-FODMAP)

Roasted Pumpkin and Sage Soup low-fodmap

By

Growing up my mum always made an amazing pumpkin soup. Her recipe’s combination of pumpkin and sage is a classic mix, and the addition of a little bacon and Worcestershire sauce really brings it all home. I added fresh herbs from my garden for even more flavor. I file this under Top Nosh. Fair warning, while this soup appears light, it is quite filling. If you’re serving it as a starter course, keep the servings small. Like most soups, it is better the next day and it lasts in the fridge for five days, so you can divvy it up for weekday lunches. Alternatively, it also freezes well.

Further Food Commentary:

Pumpkin is a rich source of vitamin A, essential for immunity, cell regeneration, eye health, and more. Using the tips of leeks and garlic-infused oil gives all the depth of flavor of garlic and onion, while keeping it low-FODMAP. Using homemade stock, or water, reduces the sodium content, traditionally high in soups. Because of the fresh herbs and Worcestershire, you don’t need as much salt to get amazing flavor!
