Light & Fresh Vegetable Detox Soup (Low FODMAP + Vegan)
This soothing low FODMAP vegetable soup is creamy yet light, made of fresh vegetables and turmeric. It's gluten-free, dairy-free and vegetarian. You puree half of the vegetables to get some body, along with a little coconut cream. If you don't like coconut milk or cream feel free to omit it. You can sub 1 cup almond or oat milk, or simply use a very flavorful stock or broth. For Low FODMAP folks: use only green scallions and LF stock.

Steps
In a large Dutch oven or saucepan, heat the oil over medium-high heat. Add the bell pepper, carrot and white scallions, if using. Sauté for 7 to 10 minutes, or until starting to brown and caramelize. Stir in the zucchini, summer squash, paprika and turmeric. Cook for 4 minutes more, until very fragrant and starting to soften.
Pour in the coconut cream (if using), stock, and salt, scraping up any brown bits that may have formed on the bottom of the pan. Simmer rapidly over medium-high heat for about 5 minutes, until the squash is fork tender but not too mushy. Remove from the heat and stir in the lime juice and half the cilantro.
With an immersion blender or stand blender, puree half of the soup, making sure there are still plenty of chunks to make it chowder-like. Garnish with the remaining cilantro and enjoy.

Jennifer Hill on 2025-03-16 (5 stars): This soup is one of the most delicious soups I've ever had. I am blown away at how good this is. Pureeing part of the soup was everything for this recipe, absolutely delicious!
Frankie on 2024-12-29 (5 stars): Totally soothing to my gut (leaving out peppers which give me gas). I had to be put in restraints so I wouldn’t eat the whole pot.
Cindi R on 2024-10-17 (5 stars): Delicious soup! I’m late to the game, as I’ve never used coconut milk in any recipe. I am so glad this soup was my first attempt! Oh my goodness, it’s so good!! I will be making this often!
Sara on 2024-04-28 (5 stars): Your blog has been a lifesaver for me on my health journey! I made this for dinner after a rough tummy few days and loved it. When I was warming up a bowl of the leftover soup, I added some of our leftover rice for a slightly heartier (but still pretty gentle) version. Thank you so much! I'll definitely be making this again!
Alaa on 2024-01-02 (5 stars): I just made this soup without lots of the ingredients (Zucchini, Squash, Cilantro, and Coconut cream) and it still turned out so delicious!!!
I've been looking for a long time for healthy, easy-to-cook, and delicious stuff, and this soup is the start! Thank you so much!!
Ruth Cayll on 2023-11-18 (5 stars): Wow the vegetable detox was amazing. I did mess up and used smoked paprika instead of sweet paprika. I only use 1 teaspoon of salt, but it turned out amazing. I will use the sweet paprika next time. I love getting your emails and I am reading your book. Thank you so much for your guidance.
Beth on 2023-06-24 (5 stars): I made this and it was delicious! I used coconut milk instead of cream and added a FODMAP friendly garlic replacer, cannellini beans, red pepper flakes and rice. It was incredible and my daughter couldn’t tell there was no garlic or regular onions.
Jennifer on 2023-02-09 (5 stars): This was wonderful! Vegan & lowfodmap, just what I was looking for. Not many soup recipes out there without onion-this ones a keeper! The coconut makes is rich & satisfying.
Cindy on 2022-12-06 (5 stars): Amazing I used butternut squash, leek for the onion and the rest per the ingredients and it was amazing. I added Kale as well. Definitely make it again, thank you!!
Jenna on 2022-07-03 (5 stars): This soup is SO good! I have SIBO (and it's currently flared up) and this soup left me feeling really light and refreshed after. Thank you!
I also didn't have any summer squash, so just doubled the zucchini and replaced lime with lemon... turned out awesome still! :)
Lisa Y on 2022-07-02 (5 stars): I recently read your book, which I enjoyed very much, so I decided to check out your blog. I saw this soup recipe and decided to give it a try. So glad I did! My husband I and I both loved it! I make soup every week for our lunches and this delicious recipe will definitely go into our regular rotation!
