Low FODMAP Spinach Soup is super simple to make, using frozen spinach and lactose free milk. Be sure to use the homemade Vegetable Stock found in Soups & Others and whole lactose-free milk like Lactaid (not skim or 1%).
Low in fat and even lower in cholesterol, spinach is high in niacin, zinc, as well as protein and fiber. It is an excellent source of vitamins A, C, E and K, thiamin, vitamin B6, folate, calcium, iron, magnesium, phosphorus, potassium, copper, and manganese.
My top choice for garlic infused oil is Baja Precious – Glorious Garlic Infused Extra Virgin Olive Oil (750ml Bottle)

When you say 2 pkts of frozen spinach how much is that in grams for fresh please?
Bo Park says
Hi, I’d recommend something like 350-550 grams, depending on how green rich you want the soup and your level of tolerance for spinach.
Also, MONASH recently updated findings on spinach, depending on what type – Baby Spinach vs English Spinach.
If you have Fructan intolerance, they recommend less than 1.5 cups of Baby Spinach per serving.
However, English Spinach should have little to no FODMAP culprits up to 2 cups per serving.
For this reason, I usually stick to English Spinach.
Enjoy!
