This recipe, along with the Salmon with Basil-Caper Pesto and Orange Chicken and Broccoli Bowl recipe, comes from The 28-Day Plan for IBS Relief, a book brought to us by RDs Audrey Inouye and Lauren Renlund.
Make sure to read our interview with them both, where you can learn much more about these low FODMAP dietitians, as well as more about the book.
This recipe for a creamy low FODMAP carrot soup uses their vegetable broth, which we do not have the recipe for – so get the book! Or, you can also use our Low FODMAP Vegetable Broth or a purchased equivalent.
If you want to top the soup with vegan yogurt, just make sure it is low FODMAP as well and watch out for fillers such as inulin or other high FODMAP ingredients.
From the Authors: Carrot-ginger is a classic soup that’s bursting with flavor. To make it low- FODMAP, we have replaced the onion with fennel bulb, limited the amount of celery, and used our homemade Nourishing Vegetable Broth (page 178 in the book). Adding a dollop of a low-FODMAP vegan yogurt on top provides a nice contrast to the spicy ginger.

Tips
- The smaller you chop the carrots and potatoes, the faster the soup will cook.
- Carrots and yellow potatoes are free of FODMAPs, so they are good vegetables to fill up on.
