Tips

  • If you do not have Vegetable Broth around, you could use 6 cups (1.4 L) of water and then use a dry vegetable soup base or “bouillon” cube in the amount that works with 6 cups (1.4 L) of water. Low FODMAP, of course. We keep Fody Vegetable Soup Base in our pantry just for moments like this.
