Low FODMAP Chicken Noodle Soup

Savor the perfect blend of soothing and delicious with my current go-to dinner – a stomach-settling soup that’s been my culinary love for the past two months. Tailored for those battling acid reflux, this recipe yields around 10 servings, making it a convenient and flavorful choice for weekly meal prep!

Please note that this recipe is best made in a Dutch oven or a large pot. It’s also important to get high-quality bone broth. I buy Trader’s Joe chicken bone broth found in the refridgerated section of the store–not the carton!

3 cups carrots (cut in rounds)

I find that this soup is best served on a bit of pasta which I cook on the side and spoon into a separate bowl. I then pour the soup over the noodles and top it with nutritional yeast!
