Turkey and Red Lentil Vegetable Soup is a LOW-Fodmap, SIBO-Friendly recipe and so flavorful and delicious that I eat a big bowl of this soup almost every week; sometimes twice a week. I always make a double batch so I can have extra soup stored in the freezer for busy nights or when I don’t feel like cooking.
The ingredients can vary, but I was following the LOW-Fodmap guidelines since I am currently on a SIBO treatment plan. A SIBO food list can be quite challenging and limited, therefore choose the vegetables that are best for you.
Onions and garlic are not allowed on the SIBO food plan, which made me wonder how I was going to get enough flavor in this soup. I am happy to say it turned out so well I have made a batch every week and I am still looking forward to having more.
Some of these vegetables that are less starchy may seem unsatisfying and less hearty but mixed in a flavorful soup they are fantastic. Plus this turkey and red lentil soup is full of nutrients as well.

Washington State has a National Lentil Festival and if you ever get the chance to visit there, The Palouse is absolutely beautiful and quite famous for its lentils, split peas, and garbanzo beans.
Enjoy!

I thought I would share this book that I am currently reading. It is an excellent resource for a wide variety of tummy issues, The Bloated Belly Whisperer.
