Low Histamine Vegetable Stock

April 12, 2018 by taniasurrow 8 Comments

Last week I posted my recipe for Low Histamine Asparagus Soup and afterwards I got a bunch of questions about which vegetable bouillon I use. It took me a long time to find a brand of bouillon without any added tomato, msg, yeast extract, E numbers etc. It is from a dutch company called “Het Blauwe Huis” who grows the herbs and vegetables themselves. It is available at Ekoplaza (among other places) here in the Netherlands. If you know of a good low histamine product sold in your country, please share in the comments below 😀

Groente Bouillon van Het Blauwe Huis

This vegetable bouillon powder is the main reason I haven’t been making my own vegetable stock or bouillon powder up until now. But given that this is a product not available to all of you guys, I realized that it is time for a Low Histamine Vegetable Stock recipe here on the blog. I also intend to figure out how to make a homemade Low Histamine vegetable bouillon powder at some point, but for now it is the vegetable stock 🙂

Low Histamine Vegetable Stock

Making this Low Histamine Vegetable Stock is really quite simple I don’t understand why I haven’t done it earlier! So a quick thank you to Mara (@icanheal.histamineissues on Instagram) for inspiring this post 😀

Low Histamine Vegetable Stock

For making the stock you start out with cleaning and prepping the vegetables (white onion, leeks, carrots, celery, and parsnip). Heat up some (extra virgin) olive oil in a big soup pot and cook the vegetables for about 5 minutes, before you add water, salt and the herbs.

As for the herbs, you can use herbs that you tolerate. Whenever I make anything that requires a bunch of herbs, I usually get a variety of is growing in my garden. For this Low Histamine Vegetable Stock recipe I used rosemary, thyme, parsley, bay leaves, celery leaves and garden nasturtium. If you can get your hands on some lavas, that would add a lot of great flavor. Lavas in on my list of herbs to add to my garden this year. And once I get my hands on it the recipe testing for low histamine homemade vegetable bouillon powder will start.

Once you have added the water and herbs, bring it to the boil and let it simmer for 30 minutes (or a bit longer if you like). Strain the stock through a fine sieve, or a cheese cloth. Use it immediately, or let it cool down and freeze it down for when you are ready to use it.

Description

Quick and easy homemade Low Histamine Vegetable Stock


Ingredients

  • 1–2 white onions
  • 4–8 cloves of garlic
  • 2–3 carrots
  • 3–4 celery stalks
  • 1–2 leeks
  • 1 parsnip
  • 4–5 sprigs of fresh thyme
  • a small bunch of parsley
  • a small bunch of celery leaves
  • 2 bay leaves
  • 2–3 sprigs rosemary
  • 5–8 garden nasturtium*
  • 1 ½ –2 L water (6–8 cups)
  • 1 tsp salt (or salt to taste)
  • 1 tbsp (extra virgin) olive oil

Instructions

  1. Start out with cleaning and prepping the vegetables (white onion, leeks, carrots, celery, and parsnip).
  2. Heat up some (extra virgin) olive oil in a big soup pot and cook the vegetables for about 5 minutes, before you add water, salt and the herbs (I usually tie the herbs together). Note the more water you add the less concentrated your stock will be.
  3. Once you have added the water and herbs, bring it to the boil and let it simmer for 30 minutes (or a bit longer if you like). Strain the stock through a fine sieve, or a cheese cloth.
  4. Use the vegetable stock immediately, or let it cool down and freeze it down for when you are ready to use it.

Notes

  • The garden nasturtium adds a little pepper flavor, if you don’t have them growing in your garden or can’t get your hands on them, you can leave them out.

    Tania,
    Thank you so much. I use this and your nomato sauce recipe ALL the time since I have Mast Cell Activation Syndrome. The veggie broth is a staple in most of my meals, and I have found that I can take it directly from jars in the freezer, take cap off, microwave frozen stock on high for ten minutes, and it’s hot and ready to add to anything. I am, however, physically weak, and I’d love to know how I can get the Ekoplaza prepared boullion in the United States. Has anyone told you of any safe options? I’d really be grateful for such information. Keep up the skilled, and very generous work. Your food is delicious, and it keeps me from getting worse. Thank you again.

      Thank you Valerie 🙂 I’m really happy to hear that the recipes helps you. Sadly I don’t know of a similar product available in the States. A question like this is however a great one to ask in Facebook groups, as there are so many reading along.

      If you find an organic yeast free and histamine Friendly option available in the states. Please do share.

      Sorry I can’t be of more help to you in regards to this question.

      Hi Kate,

      I either use them as filler in soups or smoothies (baby food is an option too). Or they end up in the trash bin.
