Low FODMAP Thai Pumpkin Noodle Soup
Nothing beats thick and creamy low FODMAP Thai pumpkin noodle soup! I love how the fresh Asian flavours of ginger, spring onion, coconut milk, and coriander/cilantro combine to make a taste sensation and delicious low FODMAP recipe.
Make this meal vegan: Simply swap the fish sauce for a splash of soy sauce to create a yummy vegan meal.
Soy free option: Omit the soy sauce. The dish will still be super tasty.
FODMAP note: Canned coconut milk is low FODMAP in 80ml (1/3 cup) serves. This recipe is low FODMAP providing you divide it between the recommended number of serves.

Method
- Preheat the oven 180ºC (350ºF) bake function. Deseed and skin your pumpkin before cutting into 3cm (1.2 inch) cubes. Cut the carrot into cubes. Place the carrot and pumpkin in a roasting tray and drizzle with oil, toss until well coated. Sprinkle with cumin and season well with salt and pepper. Bake in the oven for 20 to 30 minutes, turn once. Remove when soft and golden (do not burn).
- Allow the veggies to cool for 10 minutes. Then blend with the stock until smooth.
- Heat a large saucepan. Add a drizzle of olive oil and fry the spring onion tips for 2 to 3 minutes until fragrant, add the ginger and cook for a further minute. Pour in the pureed pumpkin and coconut milk. Then stir through the lemon zest, fish sauce (or soy sauce), and chilli flakes. Allow to simmer over low heat for 10 to 15 minutes. If your soup gets too thick, thin it with a splash of boiling water.
- While the soup simmers, cook your noodles according to packet directions (we normally under cook ours by 1 to 2 minutes so they don’t go soggy).
- Stir the cooked noodles through the soup, along with the fresh coriander/cilantro. Serve immediately. Enjoy!
Buying Tips
Check the crushed ginger does not contain garlic. Crushed ginger is grated ginger that has been preserved in a jar. You can swap it for fresh ginger if you prefer.
Buy a bunch of spring onions with long green tips. You can use the green tips of the spring onions (which are low FODMAP) and not the white stem when cooking.
Make your lemon juice and lemon zest from fresh lemon.
Check your dried chilli flakes do not contain onion or garlic powder.
Choose a stock that does not include onion or garlic. Massel have a range of low FODMAP, gluten free and vegan stock powders that are certified as low FODMAP. This product can be brought online around the world and is available from some supermarkets. Also check your Monash University FODMAP Diet App or FODMAP Friendly App for additional options. Or use our homemade chicken stock or vegetable stock.
Gluten Free Tips
Herbs and spices are naturally gluten free, however they can become contaminated during manufacturing processes. If you are highly sensitive to gluten, check the dried herbs and spices do not contain a warning for trace gluten. If you are just on the low FODMAP diet you do not need to worry about this.
