If you’re looking for a quick and easy lunch you can savour, this pumpkin soup is for you! Made with fresh sage simmered in butter, caramelized leeks and pumpkin puree, this pumpkin soup is like autumn in a bowl. Seriously, my mouth is watering just describing it to you!

I have to warn you, though. Once you taste this recipe, you may not be able to stop. Just so you know, the first time I tried this soup, I’m pretty sure I ate at least three servings in a row. In the dead of summer. Right out of the pot. It was probably four servings, honestly. < – Don’t do this! It was way too much pumpkin in one sitting and I 95% regretted it! Maybe 90%…

The moral of the story is, if pumpkin is your jam, this may be the best soup you eat all year! Heads up, this is one of the recipes in my low FODMAP soup ebook! This book is packed with fantastic recipes like cream of mushroom soup, Thai noodle soup, and a French onion soup recipe that’s so good you’ll worry it’s not low FODMAP (it is though, promise!).

Keep it FODMAP friendly

Warm up your insides with this simple low FODMAP pumpkin soup! Check out the notes below for tips on keeping this recipe low FODMAP.

First up, pumpkin. According to Monash University, pumpkin puree is low FODMAP in servings of 1/3 cup (75 g) per sitting. Servings of 1/2 a cup (120 g) or more are high in the FODMAPs fructan and GOS.

We’ll be using 1 3/4 cups of pumpkin total. This works out to 70 g per serving, which is within the recommended range.

Next up, leeks. Monash has determined the green part of a leek is low FODMAP in servings of 2/3 of a cup (54 g) per sitting. Servings of 1 cup (75 g) are high in the FODMAP mannitol.

Our recipe uses 1 cup of leeks, which works out to 12.5 g per serving. This is well within the recommended range.

We’ll also be using flour. If you’re in the elimination phase, you’ll need to use gluten-free flour. Just make sure to check the label for other sneaky FODMAPs like amaranth flour, coconut flour, or inulin, etc.

Remember, unless you have celiac disease, you’re trying to manage the FODMAP fructan in wheat, not gluten itself.

Next up, vegetable broth. Finding a low FODMAP vegetable broth can be tricky since most pre-packaged brands rely on garlic and onion, as well as other high FODMAP ingredients like celery. If you can’t find a low FODMAP option at your local store, you can grab a Monash certified vegetable broth from Fody Foods Co.

Last but not least, chives. According to the Monash app, chives don’t have any detectable FODMAPs. So you can add a few extra without adding anything yo your FODMAP load.
