Cream of Carrot and Parsnip Soup - low fodmap

Hi all

I'm following the low fodmap diet which is working for me so I thought I'd share a recipe with you that I made yesterday, it's Vegan and low fodmap and tastes delicious.

Cream of Carrot and Parsnip Soup

680g mixed carrots and parsnips, peeled and cut into 2 inch pieces (I cut mine up smaller so they’d cook more quickly)

3 ½ cups of water or Vegetable stock (I used my homemade low fodmap stock)

1 large potato, peeled and coarsely chopped

2 tablespoons garlic-infused olive oil

1 ½ tablespoons light brown sugar or unbleached cane sugar

1 tablespoon peeled and grated fresh ginger or 1 teaspoon ground ginger (I used ground ginger)

1 teaspoon dried thyme, well crushed between your fingers, or dill weed (I didn’t crush the thyme)

½ teaspoon sea salt, plus more as needed (I used Pink Himalayan salt)

½ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

¼ teaspoon cayenne (optional) – I didn’t use this

1 cup light coconut milk

Garnishes (choose one, two or all three) – I didn’t use any garnish

8 strips Tempeh Bacon, whole or crumbled

2 tablespoons chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley, lightly packed

2 tablespoons thinly sliced chives or scallion greens

Put the carrots and parsnips in a large soup pot. Add the water, potato, oil, brown sugar, ginger, thyme, salt, pepper and optional cayenne and bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Decrease the heat to medium-low, cover and simmer until the carrots and parsnips are very soft and the potato is tender and starting to fall apart, 50 to 60 minutes. Mine too about 35 to 40 minutes as I’d cut the vegetables into smaller pieces.

Process with an immersion blender (I used a normal liquidiser and it worked very well) until smooth. Alternatively, process in batches in a high-speed blender and return to the soup pot. Stir in the coconut milk (I actually added the coconut milk in with the vegetables in the blender and it worked very well.

I had some last night and have frozen 3 more servings.

Enjoy
