Chicken noodle soup

High FODMAP (Avoid)Onion and garlic broth, wheat noodles

Is chicken noodle soup low FODMAP?

Chicken noodle soup is high FODMAP and best avoided during the elimination phase.

The broth is built on onion and garlic, whose fructans dissolve straight into the liquid, and the egg noodles are wheat. A safer build uses an onion- and garlic-free broth flavored with garlic-infused oil and scallion greens, plus rice noodles.

FODMAP subgroups to watch

Chicken noodle soup contains fructans that can drive SIBO symptoms.

SIBO note

Watch this one for ISO (hydrogen sulfide overproduction). Chicken noodle soup contains sulfur compounds, and ISO patterns can be more sensitive to these, especially in larger servings.
