A quick and easy classic recipe, Low FODMAP Vegetable Beef Soup features carrots, celery, tomatoes, potatoes, green beans, and ground beef.
I don’t know about you, but I grew up on Campbell’s condensed soups. My favorites were tomato and vegetable beef. They were both so comforting and a must when I was sick. Lots of crackers were required too. Especially those little oyster crackers. Yum.
I recently found myself with half a pound of ground beef and some leftover potatoes, so I was inspired to create a recipe with those ingredients. At the time I was developing this recipe we were going through a cold spell, with lows below zero, so this soup really hit the spot. I wanted it to taste like how I remember Campbell’s tasting and I think I came pretty darn close. Maybe even better considering it’s homemade, chunky, and onion-free!
The best thing about this Low FODMAP Vegetable Beef Soup recipe is how easy and quick it is. I used FODY Vegetable Soup Base, which adds lots of delicious savoriness, and some of my favorite herbs and vegetables. This is an amazing soup and I just made up a big batch this weekend to freeze and enjoy for the remainder of the winter – well, at least what’s left of it!

Hi, Dianne! This soup looks delicious. I’d love to make this this week, but I won’t be able to get the FODY vegetable soup base in time to use that in this recipe. Do you have any suggestions of spices I could use to substitute for not having that ingredient? Thank you! -Bre
I would just add some extra salt to taste and maybe increase the herbs listed in the ingredients.
