Every winter, my family enjoys Tortilla Soup. Over the years, I have adjusted the recipe to accommodate my personalized low-FODMAP diet, but in recent years, I’ve had to make some other changes. My daughter eats a vegetarian diet and has been missing out on the Tortilla Soup, so in order to include her in the yearly tradition of eating hearty soups for dinner, it was time to make a version that she could enjoy.
Traditionally, Tortilla Soup is made with beans and corn – both of which are high-FODMAP ingredients – but since my daughter doesn’t have Irritable Bowel Syndrome, she is happy to consume them. I omitted the chicken and replaced the chicken stock with vegetable stock from my original recipe and voilà! – Vegetarian Tortilla Soup was created! This soup is also a perfect recipe for those with Celiac disease or who avoid gluten. Served with corn tortilla chips, this dish contains whole grains and fiber.
If you cannot tolerate onions or garlic, you may want to substitute your taco seasoning for FODY Foods Taco Seasoning* and Casa de Santé Garlic and Onion Substitute* in place of the garlic. These ingredients are also certified gluten-free.
