This soup is a celebration of vibrant greens and gentle flavors. It is remarkably creamy without being heavy, making it a perfect light dinner or an elegant starter. By using the whole organic broccoli—including the nutrient-rich stalks—you create a zero-waste meal that is as sustainable as it is delicious.
Ingredients
500g Fresh Organic Broccoli: Roughly chopped (use both florets and peeled stalks).
1 Medium Organic Potato: Peeled and diced (this provides the natural creaminess).
700ml Organic Vegetable Broth: (Ensure it is yeast-free and low-histamine).
1 Small Onion or Shallot: Finely diced.
1 tbsp Organic Olive Oil or Coconut Oil.
100ml Organic Cream or Coconut Milk: (For an extra silky finish).
A pinch of Sea Salt: To taste.
Fresh Parsley: For garnishing.
Preparation
Sauté the Aromatics: Heat the oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add the diced onion and sauté until translucent (about 3–4 minutes). Do not let them brown.
Add Vegetables: Add the chopped broccoli and the diced potato to the pot. Stir well to coat them in the oil.
Simmer: Pour in the vegetable broth until the vegetables are just covered. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat and simmer for about 15–20 minutes, or until the potatoes and broccoli stalks are tender.
Blend: Use an immersion blender to puree the soup until it is completely smooth and velvety.
The Creamy Finish: Stir in the cream (or coconut milk) and season with sea salt to taste. Warm the soup through for another minute, but do not let it boil again.
Serve: Ladle into bowls and garnish with fresh parsley and a few reserved small broccoli florets.
Product Recommendation
To give this savory soup a subtle depth, I recommend stirring in half a teaspoon of Forever Bee Honey * just before serving. This tiny addition doesn’t make the soup sweet; instead, it perfectly balances the slight bitterness of the broccoli and rounds out the earthy flavors of the vegetable broth.
Why this Recipe is Low-Histamine Friendly
This soup is a powerhouse of nutrients that respects a sensitive digestive system:
Organic Broccoli: Broccoli is highly tolerated and rich in Vitamin C, which can actually help the body stabilize mast cells.
Potatoes as a Thickener: Using a potato instead of a flour-based roux avoids gluten and keeps the histamine levels low.
Fresh Herbs: Parsley is a safe, fresh way to add vitamins and flavor without the need for processed spices.
Important “Watch-Out” Points
To maintain the lowest possible histamine levels:
Broth Quality: Most commercial vegetable broths contain yeast extract or “spices” that are high in histamine. Always choose a yeast-free, organic version or use a homemade base.
The “Reheat” Rule: Like all low-histamine meals, it is best eaten fresh. If you have leftovers, freeze them immediately rather than letting them sit in the fridge, as histamine levels rise during storage.
Cream Selection: If you are sensitive to dairy, use a high-quality, additive-free coconut milk for the same creamy effect.
