Our garden is positively bursting with zucchinis/courgettes and so soup was always going to be on the menu this week. I am thrilled with how this turned out - full of flavour and nice and filling. It's always an added bonus when the family love it too. This recipe can be halved if required.
Cinnamon is a contentious ingredient, in my opinion largely because of the myriad of low histamine lists on the internet which are often incorrect and seem to be tailored to each author's personal reactions. My recipes are based on ingredients from the SIGHI list which is the only evidence based list I have found. It rates cinnamon as safe. I am something of a histamine barometer and I do not react to it so I take this as good evidence that the safe rating is warranted. In addition, cinnamon has anti-inflammatory properties which is a bonus for anybody with a mast cell disorder.
So...cinnamon popcorn! Sometimes I REALLY want to cheat and eat all of the food, even though I know how sick it will make me. When my willpower is at its worst, I try to treat myself with food that is not necessarily healthy but is still on my safe list. The below instructions are for those with popcorn makers (a worthwhile small investment) but the ingredients remain the same for those who pop their corn manually. The oil can also be melted in the microwave or in a very small saucepan on the stove top.
Enjoy (in moderation) ❤️
