As the weather cools down, I tend to crave hearty soups that warm your body all over. However, canned soups and the low FODMAP diet do not go well together. Wheat flour, garlic and onion are frequent ingredients in ready-made soups, so the majority of them (almost all) will not work.
That’s where Progresso Tuscany Chicken Broth

Living Happy with IBS 
I recently found the Tuscany Broth at Schnucks Grocery Store here in St. Louis, MO! Now if I can find the Asafoetida Powder…
Thank you for this recipe! I miss soup so much, especially as it gets colder outside. This is finally one I’m allowed to eat! Can’t wait to whip up a batch!
I was very excited to hear of a low fodmap broth. I emailed Progresso to make sure that there are no onions or garlic in the broth and they confirmed that there are. Just thought I would let your readers know in case someone else has issues with these ingredients. I am wondering if maybe the amount is so small that it is not bothersome?
Hi Traci, I have never had a problem with the broth and I react strongly to fructans, so the amount must be very minimal. Thanks for following up!
Thanks I will try it!
Thank you so much! I had no idea where to begin. I just made your potatoe soup recipe and its delicious. I also used your lists of recommended foods to shop with. You are a blessing!!
I am confused about the Garlic Infused Olive Oil. How can this work on the Fodmap plan when garlic is a huge no no. I love your balsamic salad dressing recipe. I have been on the fodmap diet for about 3 months now but the selection of foods I have been eating is really low. I am looking forward to trying some of your recipes.
The fructans in garlic are water-soluble, not oil-soluble, so garlic infused olive oil is a perfectly safe alternative.
Have you found the garlic infused olive oil at some grocery stores or do you need to order this online? Also I’m vegetarian so I’m assuming vegetable broth works too…
I have found the garlic infused oil one time in a store, but you can easily make the oil! If you google for a recipe you should fine one that tells you how to make it. I recommend just making a little, because it only keeps a couple days in the refrigerator when you make it at home.
