When following the low fodmap diet, you realise that there are so many things you used to buy ready-made at the store that you just can’t have anymore. Stock is often one of them, as it generally contains garlic and/or onion.
I must say that in Australia we are lucky enough to have many low fodmap certified products and one of these is stock. However, not all my readers live in Australia, so I thought I’d share this home-made Low Fodmap Chicken Stock recipe, so they too can enjoy a more flavoursome soup (or stew) without having tummy troubles.
I often make this stock too, even though I can buy low fodmap stock at my local supermarket, as I always prefer to be in total control of what I eat anyway. I make a full batch of it (sometimes even a double batch) and then I freeze the stock that I don’t immediately need. I usually portion it out into about 150-200 ml (2/3 to 1 scant cup) serves (which is plenty for 1 person), so it’s easier to use later on.
Making stock at home is very easy and you don’t need any fancy equipment or ingredients. Enjoy and don’t forget to check out my video recipe and to leave a comment to let me know how you like it!
