Firehouse Subs Chicken Noodle Soup

High histamine

This chicken noodle soup runs high, mostly from the long-simmered chicken stock plus yeast extract and soy protein concentrate.

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.

A comforting mix of chicken stock, egg noodles, chicken meat, carrots, celery, and onions, but a few savory ingredients push it up.

  • Chicken stock leads it — stocks that are simmered and held for a long time tend to run high in histamine, and this soup is built on one.

  • Savory boosters add to it — the yeast extract and soy protein concentrate that deepen the flavor are both high, so the broth carries most of the weight while the noodles and vegetables are milder.

There isn't a clean way to order this one lower, so a fresh, non-broth item is the safer pick.
