Is Culver's Broccoli Cheese Soup High in Histamine?

Culver's Broccoli Cheese Soup

High histamine

This soup is high, driven by soy and the processed cheese spread built into the base.

Fast food is cooked in batches and held warm rather than made when you order it, so it is rarely as fresh as something cooked at home. That matters here because histamine builds up as protein foods sit, which means the same item can affect you differently depending on how long it waited.

Dairy Histamine Liberator

Broccoli cheese soup blends broccoli, a pasteurized process cheese spread, chicken fat, and a cheese flavor blend into a creamy soup.

Soy and process cheese — the soy runs high, and the pasteurized process cheese spread is moderate, so together they set the tone for the whole bowl.
Natural yeast flavor — this adds a second moderate layer, while the broccoli itself is the mild part of the dish.

Since the drivers are baked into the soup base, there is no clean tweak here, so a lighter menu choice is the better route.
