Supergut Bacon Soup

Here is my recipe for Supergut bacon soup!

I’ve been following the Supergut diet for about a month now, and it has helped reduce inflammation and heal my gut after years of antibiotic use and the resultant SIBO. This recipe makes a satisfying savory soup that is night-shade free too!

The Supergut diet is based on Dr. William Davis’ book, Super Gut. The book advocates using healing foods to heal the gut, such as homemade probiotic-rich yogurt.

Ingredient notes for Supergut bacon soup

This recipe calls for homemade lower histamine chicken broth.

What is MCAS?

Mast Cell Activation Syndrome (MCAS) is a chronic condition that affects all organ systems. MCAS is serious and disabling and people with MCAS often experience significant and debilitating symptoms daily, including anaphylaxis, which can be fatal.

MCAS is often found in combination with other chronic conditions such as Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome (EDS) and Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia Syndrome (POTS).

Healthcare providers frequently do not know about MCAS, and the tests for MCAS are problematic because they are not uniformly reliable. MCAS can be difficult to manage. Treatments include blocking mast cell mediators with anti-histamines and mast cell stabilizers, as well as avoiding triggers.

Check out this post on how to manage MCAS.

The bucket theory

The bucket theory offers a helpful analogy for understanding symptom reactions with MCAS.

Think of your body as an empty bucket that you want to keep from overflowing. Different foods and activities fill your histamine bucket at different speeds but they combine to form the total level of histamine in your body (how full your bucket is). A fuller bucket means you have more histamine symptoms. When you manage triggers, reduce exposure to known triggers, and take medications and supplements to reduce histamine, you can manage the level of your bucket.

Know your typical symptom progression

Knowing your symptom progression in a symptom flare is the key to developing your rescue plan. In this post, I discuss how to determine your symptom progression. Once you know what typically happens in your symptom progression you can design a rescue plan to address those symptoms.

Equipment

  • Pressure Cooker such as Instant Pot

Ingredients

  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 10 strips uncured bacon chopped
  • ¼ cup chopped onion
  • 1 medium turnip diced
  • 1 stalk celery, chopped

  • 1 tsp sea salt
  • 1 tbsp apple cider vinegar
  • 1 tsp dried tarragon leaves

Instructions

  • Place the chopped bacon in the Instant Pot and set it to the "Soup" setting. Add the chopped onion, carrot, turnip, and celery, and cook with the lid off for about five minutes, until the bacon starts to render. Add the chicken stock, thyme, and salt, and secure the lid, allowing the Soup function to run.
  • When the Soup function has finished, release the pressure naturally. Remove the lid and add the vinegar and tarragon leaves.
  • Serve immediately, or freeze in pint mason jars for later consumption.

What to serve along with this recipe

This soup is excellent when served with my Lower Histamine Cassava Rolls.

Leftovers

Leftovers keep in the fridge for up to 5 days, but if you have histamine intolerance or MCAS you will want to freeze leftovers right away.
