Why suitable for low histanmine diet

This soup is suitable for a low-histamine diet as it uses ingredients known to be low in histamine, such as cauliflower, onions, and coconut milk. As always, make sure to listen to your body and modify the recipe according to your personal tolerance.

Instructions

  • 0Heat the olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add the onions and garlic and sauté until the onions are translucent.
  • 1Add the cauliflower florets to the pot, followed by the vegetable broth, salt, and pepper. Stir well to combine.
  • 2Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce heat and let it simmer for about 20 minutes or until the cauliflower is tender.
  • 3Use an immersion blender to puree the soup until smooth. Alternatively, you can transfer the soup to a regular blender in batches and blend until smooth.

  • 5Serve hot, garnished with fresh herbs if desired.

Tipps

Choosing Your Cauliflower

Choose a cauliflower head that is tightly packed with firm, white florets and no visible blemishes. The leaves should look fresh and vibrant. Remember, fresher vegetables tend to have lower histamine levels.

Adjusting Soup Thickness

If you prefer a thinner soup, add more vegetable broth. If you prefer a thicker soup, simmer it for a little longer before blending. However, be aware that longer cooking times can increase histamine levels in food.

Blending Safely

When using a regular blender for hot liquids, blend in small batches and don't fill the blender too full. Also, leave the blender lid slightly ajar to allow steam to escape and prevent the lid from popping off.

Using Low-Histamine Coconut Milk

Ensure that the coconut milk you use is fresh and not aged or fermented, as this can increase histamine levels. Always check the labels for any additional ingredients that might not be suitable for a low-histamine diet.

Avoiding Roasting

Roasting can bring out the flavor of the cauliflower, but it can also increase the histamine levels. If you are highly sensitive to histamine, it may be better to stick with boiling or steaming the cauliflower.

Storing and Reheating

This soup can be stored in the refrigerator for up to a week. However, remember that histamine levels can increase over time in stored foods. Always reheat thoroughly before consuming and discard if you have any doubts about freshness.
