Ingredients
3 tablespoons butter
1 cup leek greens, chopped
1 pound fresh oyster mushrooms, chopped
2 large carrots, chopped
6 cups low FODMAP Vegetable or chicken broth (I use Gourmend Organic Vegetable Broth or Gourmend low FODMAP Organic Chicken Broth - use code IBSGC15 for 15% discount)
2 teaspoons dried dill weed
1 teaspoon Kosher salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1 bay leaf
1 pound small new potatoes, quartered (yellow or red or a combo)
1 pound broccoli florets, cut into bite-size pieces
1 cup lactose-free half-and-half or 1/2 cup Lactose-free whole milk and 1/2 cup heavy cream
Directions
(1) Cook the vegetables: Melt 3 tablespoons butter in a Dutch Oven or large soup pot over medium heat. Mix in leek greens, mushrooms, and carrots, and cook 5 minutes.
(2) Add the broth: Pour in the vegetable or chicken broth. Season with dill, salt, pepper, and bay leaf. Mix in potatoes, cover, and cook 10 minutes, then add the broccoli florets and continue cooking another 10 minutes or until potatoes are tender but firm. Remove and discard the bay leaf.
(3) Finish: Stir the half and half (or milk and cream) into the soup. Taste and add more salt or pepper if needed.
(4) Plate and serve: Serve in bowls with a grating of Parmesan cheese if you like. This soup has it all so no need to add anything on the side.
Eat and enjoy every bite because you can!
Recipe note: I use Diamond Crystal Kosher salt in all my recipes because it has a wonderful flat and crisp flake that tastes delicious. It is also the least salty salt available so you can use it more liberally as a seasoning than you can table salt or sea salt. If you use another type of salt, you may need to reduce the amount so it is not over-salted.
