Low histamine cauliflower and kale soup recipe

Low histamine cauliflower and kale soup recipe

June 07, 20213 min read

Vegetable soups are the perfect way to increase your daily vegetable intake and help your gut heal with an easy to digest meal. We can sometimes get stuck in a low vegetable, high protein and carb diet when going low histamine. It’s important to eat as many low histamine veggies as you can cram in, due to the much needed potassium content we don’t get from a lot of other foods.

I use homemade vegetable stock in all my low histamine recipes. Meat based stock is usually high in histamine, but if you have a mild case of histamine intolerance you will probably be OK with short cooked meat stocks. You can use these recipes for chicken stock and beef stock and reduce the cooking time to 2 hours or under.

This recipe can be cooked on the stove top or pressure cooker for a quick lunch. As well as low histamine, this recipe is also low oxalate, dairy and gluten free!
