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)
