Histamine Tracker
Vegetable soup
Vegetable soup is generally low in histamine, but tomatoes, spinach, or long-simmered broths can raise the level noticeably.
The histamine level of vegetable soup depends almost entirely on which vegetables are used and how it's prepared.
-
High-histamine vegetables to watch — tomatoes and spinach are common soup ingredients that either contain histamine or may trigger its release; soups built around these tend to be harder to tolerate
-
Cooking time and storage — histamine can increase in foods as they sit, so freshly made soup is generally lower in histamine than soup that's been stored or reheated multiple times
A simple broth with low-histamine vegetables like zucchini, carrots, and potato, made and eaten fresh, tends to be the most comfortable version.
