Dukkah is an Egyptian spice blend usually made with hazelnuts or almonds. We’re using chestnuts for extra festive vibes. It can be made well in advance and is also great in salads or just served with good (low FODMAP!) bread and olive oil. The soup itself is made with mostly carrots to keep it low FODMAP. The amount of squash equates to 45 grams per person which is a low FODMAP serving. If you feel you can tolerate a little more, feel free to play around with the ratio. You could also omit it altogether and use other low FODMAP-friendly vegetables that suit you.
For the soup:
270g butternut squash; peeled, deseeded and cut into chunks
800g carrots; peeled and cut into chunks
1 thumb sized piece of ginger; peeled and finely chopped
20 sage leaves
2 litres low FODMAP vegetable stock or water
5 tablespoons olive oil
Garlic-infused oil for roasting the vegetables
