Histamine Friendly Pumpkin and Bell Pepper Soup – aka The Pretty Soup

February 26, 2019 by taniasurrow 2 Comments

So my son named this soup “The Pretty Soup” and when I asked on instagram for help to find a name for this recipe, the answer was that it probably couldn’t get much better than “The Pretty Soup”. However in the world of food blogging technicalities the name “The Pretty Soup” probably would perform very well in terms of search engine optimization (SEO), and there not get out to as many people. So I had to be a little boring about it and also give it a name which says something about what kind of soup it is – so in the end the title of this recipe is “Histamine Friendly Pumpkin and Bell Pepper Soup – aka The Pretty Soup”.

Histamine Friendly Pumpkin and Bell Pepper Soup

I love how easy it is to empty the fridge and the pantry and just turn it into delicious soup. granted sometimes it turns out better than others. But this Histamine Friendly Pumpkin and Bell Pepper soup was definitely the result of a successful fridge cleaning.

As with most soups it is pretty straight forward, and the cleaning and prepping of the veggies takes up most of the time. Clean the leek and cut the with part into thin rings. Note that for some people with Histamine Intolerance, leek and the onion family in general can be an issue, white onion is usually tolerated the best, and can replace the leek if need be. Heat up some coconut or olive oil in a big soup pot, and the cook the leek until it is softened, about as long as it would take for an onion to turn translucent. Clean the bell peppers and cut them into smaller pieces. Add the bell peppers to the leek, and cook together for about 10-15 minutes on low heat.

Peel the sweet potato and cut it into cubes. Peel and clean the pumpkin, discard the seeds and stringy middle, cut into cubes. Add the sweet potato and pumpkin to the leek and bell pepper after about 10-15 minutes. Give it a good stir. Peel the zucchini and cut into similar size pieces as the sweet potato and pumpkin. Add the zucchini to the pot together with the liquid and salt. Bring it to a boil, turn down the heat and let it simmer for about 30 minutes. Check to see if the pumpkin and sweet potato have had enough, you want them to fall of the fork when you prick them. Then blend the soup with an immersion blender until you get a smooth soup. Salt to taste and enjoy.
