Is Boston Market Chicken Tortilla Soup High in Histamine?

Boston Market Chicken Tortilla Soup

Low histamine

This soup mixes chicken, green chilies, and savory seasonings, and it runs high from the yeast extract.

Food here is usually assembled to order from components that were prepped earlier in the day, so it tends to be fresher than a drive-through and less fresh than cooking at home. Histamine builds up as protein foods sit, so how long the chicken or beef has been in the warmer matters as much as what is in the bowl. Treat the rating above as a starting point.

Gluten

The soup is a chicken broth base with green chilies, wheat, salt, and a yeast-extract seasoning blend.

Yeast extract drives it — concentrated yeast extract runs high and pushes the whole soup up.
Green chilies and wheat add to it — the green chilies sit at moderate and the wheat is moderate and flags gluten, so both keep it elevated.

For a lower-histamine option, a simple broth-based soup without yeast extract or green chilies tends to be gentler.
