Creamy Coconut Chicken Low Histamine Soup Recipe

A low histamine soup for warm, symptom-free bodies!

Looking for a delicious low histamine soup?Whether it’s soup soup season or summer time, everybody craves a delicious creamy soup now and again.

But, for those with histamine intolerance, finding a low histamine soup that won’t cause your symptoms to rage can be a challenge.

Low Histamine Soup: Finding the Right Ingredients

Finding a low histamine soup recipe can be difficult, especially considering many typical soup ingredients are histamine-heavy.

Pre-made soup stocks and animal broths are mostly out of the question due to their high histamine levels, so finding an alternate base to create a low histamine soup is the first obstacle.

If you’re still unsure of exactly what ingredients are right and wrong to be using, download my free Guide to Histamine Intolerance, which has a comprehensive histamine intolerance food list, as well as secret tips and tricks for symptom reduction!

I commonly like to use coconut milk or cream as my low histamine soup base. Additionally, vegetable stocks tend to be safer than meat-based stock recipes, especially if they are fresh and homemade.

As you can see, this recipe uses a combination of coconut cream and stock for the low histamine soup base. You have the option to use your own low histamine stock recipe, if you have one, or alternatively, I’ve included a vegetable stock recipe at the bottom of this page that you may use.

The high fat content of this low histamine soup makes it sufficient as a stand-alone meal. Additionally, this soup contains plenty of nourishing, histamine-safe ingredients such as coconut, veggies and chicken.
