Low FODMAP Parsnip Soup

Oh, the weather outside is frightful, but this parsnip soup’s delightful 😉

Okay, Minnesota weather isn’t too unbearable (yet) and you have full permission to roll your eyes at my bad twist on lyrics, but I really am all about this parsnip soup (and Christmas music once November 1st rolls around). ← Who’s with me?! ?

This Low FODMAP Parsnip Soup features parsnips (shocker, Em) but it’s also topped with a yummy garnish of crispy pork and oyster mushrooms.

And before you discredit me and my Christmas-songs-turned-food-blog-promos completely, yes, you can have (certain) mushrooms while low FODMAP-ing and yes, I’ll share more deets below.

But first, let’s talk parsnips.

Low FODMAP Parsnip Soup

LOW FODMAP PARSNIPS

Parsnips are one of those fun FODMAP-friendly veggies. Why fun? Well, when they were tested by Monash University – no FODMAPs were detected! Meaning, we can eat them freely, according to our appetite, while low FODMAP-ing. Hooray!

As much as weighing and tracking food can be helpful tools (for some people) during a FODMAP experiment, they’re really no fun to do long-term. Instead, I try to eat intuitively and according to my appetite as much as possible.

So, FODMAP “freebies” like parsnips and carrots and grapes and others are great because I know they won’t likely trigger my IBS symptoms even if I eat a little bit more than the recommended serving size because *gosh darnit* sometimes I’m hungry! 😉

Parsnips are also pretty versatile. You can roast ‘em, mash ‘em or like in today’s soup, puree ‘em until smooth.

Now back to FODMAP-friendly mushrooms.

Low FODMAP Parsnip Soup

FODMAP-FRIENDLY MUSHROOMS

It’s true most mushrooms are high in mannitol, one of the polyols (the P in FODMAP).  So, unless you know you tolerate mannitol (luckily, I do!), mushrooms tend to be pretty non-existent on most low FODMAP menus.

However, oyster mushrooms have been tested and are considered low FODMAP in servings of 1 cup or 75 grams. I will admit they’re a little bit harder to find (at least in rural Minnesota), but when I do, I do a little happy dance.

Because I think mushrooms are the da bomb. So, I get a little (over) excited. Why? Mushrooms add a blast of umami to savory dishes. They’re a great way to make meat go further and can be a more sustainable option.

And, they pair deliciously with the crispy pork (which I like to think of as more of a garnish) on top of this soup!

Description

Ready in about 30 minutes, this yummy Low FODMAP Parsnip Soup with Crispy Pork and Oyster Mushrooms is a delicious way to warm-up!


Scale

Ingredients

  • 2 lb. parsnips, peeled and cut into 1-inch rounds
  • 6 cups low FODMAP chicken broth
  • 1 tsp. dried sage
  • 1 lb. ground pork
  • 1 Tbsp. shallot-infused olive oil (or ghee) + extra for garnish
  • 1 (0.5 oz.) pkg. fresh oyster mushrooms, sliced
  • Salt and pepper, to taste

Instructions

  1. Place parsnip pieces into a large pot and cover with chicken broth. Bring to a boil and cook for 15 minutes or until the parsnips are tender. Remove from heat and carefully blend with an immersion blender. Stir in sage and season to taste with salt and pepper. Set aside.
  2. While parsnips are cooking, cook pork in a skillet over medium-high heat until pork is browned and just crispy. Drain excess fat, if desired. Add olive oil and mushrooms and cook until mushrooms are tender. Season with salt and pepper.
  3. Scoop soup into bowls, drizzle with an additional swirl of olive oil (optional), and top with pork and mushroom mixture. Serve warm.

Notes

Oyster Mushrooms: A low FODMAP serving is 1 cup or 75 grams.

Low FODMAP Chicken Broth: My slow cooker broth recipe is linked in the ingredients, but if you want a quick option I like to use FODY Foods Low FODMAP Chicken Soup Base. I use 1 Tbsp. + 2 tsp. of the base for 6 cups water.

No Immersion Blender? If you don’t have an immersion blender, a blender will work. Allow cooked parsnips and chicken broth to cool before carefully blending small(!) batches in a blender until smooth. Hot liquids have the potential to expand in the blender, so small batches are important.

    I made this tonight, and used bacon instead of the pork, and we loved it. My husband who can eat anything and has no food intolerances enjoyed it. Thanks for posting, and filling our stomachs!

  • Do you practice yoga? 🙋🏻‍♀️ Recent research says a consistent yoga practice could benefit those of us living with IBS! ⁠ .⁠ A recent study compared two groups of patients with IBS. One group followed a low FODMAP diet and the other group practiced Hatha yoga (complete with breathwork and meditation) 2x/wk for 12 weeks. ⁠ .⁠ In this single-blind, randomized control trial (about as good as we can get for this type of study), both the low FODMAP group and the yoga group saw significant decreases in their IBS symptoms. 🎉 Woohoo! ⁠ .⁠ There was also no significant difference between the FODMAP group and the yoga group (i.e., both were equally effective in terms of statistics).⁠ .⁠ This research suggests that a consistent yoga practice *may* be as effective as the low FODMAP diet in helping people with IBS manage our symptoms.⁠ .⁠ I say *may* because there are always study limitations, and more research is needed. ⁠ .⁠ BUT … as a Hatha yoga teacher (& dietitian), I am pretty pumped that this non-diet approach may be a viable (research-backed) alternative to help manage our IBS symptoms.⁠ .⁠ .⁠ P.S. If you're thinking about starting a yoga practice, I shared six tips for yoga "beginners" on the F w/o F website a while back. You can find it here: https://funwithoutfodmaps.com/tips-for-yoga-beginners/ or by clicking the link in my bio @funwithoutfodmaps.⁠ .⁠ .⁠ .⁠ P.P.S. Thanks to Dr. Peter Gibson (aka the Father of FODMAPs) from @monashfodmap for sharing this study at his FNCE #lowfodmap talk.⁠ .⁠ .⁠ RESEARCH ARTICLE:⁠ Schumann D, Langhorst J, Dobos G, Cramer H.

  • Ad. Did you know dried figs can be low FODMAP?! That's right! Figs are one of my favorite fruits. 💕 So, I'm pretty excited to be partnering with @cafigs to share the good news!⁠⠀ .⁠⠀ Before we get to the FODMAP stuff, I wanna share a bit more about why California Dried Figs are pretty cool. They're:⁠⠀ - sweet (no added sugar needed)⁠⠀ - packed with dietary fiber, iron, calcium, & potassium (YAY!)⁠⠀ - available all year round (v. important for #MNtundralife) ⁠⠀ - delicious as part of a snack, sweet treat, or lots of recipes⁠⠀ .⁠⠀ Now for the FODMAP fun:⁠⠀ .⁠⠀ According to Monash University, a low FODMAP serving of dried figs is 20 grams. Figs can vary in size, so I weighed a bunch of different California Dried Figs to get an idea of what this looks like in everyday terms. Every one of them was less than 20 grams. 🙌🏽 (even the large one I have pictured)⁠⠀ .⁠⠀ So, a low FODMAP serving is about one dried fig - the perfect amount for Low FODMAP Chocolate-Dipped Figs with Macadamia Nuts⁠⠀ .⁠⠀ Ingredients You'll Need:⁠⠀ - 8 California Dried Figs (I used a mix of Mission & Golden)⁠⠀ - ¼ cup dark chocolate chips⁠⠀ - ½ tsp. coconut oil⁠⠀ - 1 Tbsp. finely chopped macadamia nuts⁠⠀ .⁠⠀ Grab the instructions and FODMAP details at https://funwithoutfodmaps.com/low-fodmap-chocolate-dipped-figs/ or by clicking the link in my bio @funwithoutfodmaps.⁠⠀ .⁠⠀ And if you're a fig lover like me (or know someone else who is), check out the NEW "California Figs - A Collection of Recipes for Fig Lovers" cookbook on the @cafigs website.⁠⠀ .⁠⠀ .⁠⠀ .⁠⠀ #ad #funwithoutfodmaps #lowfodmap #fodmapfriendly #ibs #guthealth #fodmap #dietitianapproved #figs #driedfigs #glutenfree #dairyfree #wheatfree #lactosefree #plantbased #glutenfreelife⁠
