Low FODMAP Carrot Soup Ingredients (serves 4)

  • 700 g carrots, peeled and chopped
  • 1 potato (approx. 200 g), peeled and diced
  • 240 ml coconut milk (UHT, low FODMAP portion per serve)
  • 1 tbsp coconut oil (or olive oil)
  • 1 tsp salt (adjust to taste)
  • 1–2 cm piece of fresh ginger, sliced (can replace with a teaspoon of dried ginger)
  • 1 stalk lemongrass, bruised (can replace with a teaspoon of lemongrass powder)
  • 1 tsp miso paste (ensure gluten-free if needed)
  • Water, approx. 800 ml–1 litre (or use low FODMAP stock)

Method (Step by Step)

1. Prep and Sauté

  • Warm the coconut or olive oil in a large pot over medium heat.
  • Add sliced ginger and bruised lemongrass; gently sauté for 2–3 minutes to release their aromas; this builds depth without introducing high FODMAP ingredients.

2. Add Vegetables & Liquid

  • Stir in the carrots and potato, coating them in the fragrant oil.
  • Pour in water (or stock) to just cover the veggies.
  • Bring to a gentle simmer, then reduce heat and cover. Cook for about 15–20 minutes or until vegetables are soft.

H3: 3. Blend & Season

  • Remove the lemongrass stalk.
  • Blend the soup until smooth.
  • Return to low heat, add coconut milk, salt, and miso paste. Stir gently until fully combined. Avoid boiling to preserve miso’s probiotic qualities.

Serve in bowls with a drizzle of coconut milk, fresh parsley or coriander, and optionally a sprinkle of toasted pumpkin seeds or peanuts.

Tips for Success

Low FODMAP Coconut Milk

Use only up to 120 ml coconut milk per serve (i.e., 480 ml total). This keeps it comfortably low FODMAP .

Boost Flavour Gently

Subtle ingredients like ginger, lemongrass or fresh herbs elevate flavour without upsetting digestion. Try basil, coriander or a squeeze of lime to enhance the freshness.

Health & Nutrition Notes
