Low Histamine Chicken Broth Recipe (Gut Healing and DAO Supportive)

When I first switched to a low histamine diet I really missed chicken stock. I used to cook my chicken stock, using the carcass for 8 hours, that’s really high in histamine! So for a while I switched to a vegetable stock, but it’s just not the same. Thankfully I discovered the joys of pressure cooking, and this easy quick broth was born.

Cool and freeze as quickly as possible to keep your histamine levels down. If you make this stock on the stove, you can cook for up to 30 minutes but the result will have less flavour.

Be careful of any purchased stock, soup or broth and slow cooked bone broth, they are very high in histamine. Bone broths can also have a bunch of heavy metals in them, that the animal can get from feed or from eating grass grown in poor quality soil.

Chicken broth (stock)

This chicken broth or stock is cooked very quickly in a food processor to keep histamine levels low. Histamines build up with heat and time, so this method is preferred over the slow cooker or stove top methods.
