A Warming Broccoli Soup For Babies And Toddlers For The Winter Season
If you have been following me for a while now, you know I plan our family meals every week. One night each week we try and do a soup and salad meal that helps break away from the monotony of our dal and rice dinner meals.
We have a few of our favorite go-to soup recipes, but our family favorite is this broccoli soup.
Its creamy, delicious and super healthy for all ages. I love making this broccoli soup during the winter season. It contains a good amount of healthy fats and carbs. In order to add more protein content to the meal, I usually pair this soup with a one-pot quinoa recipe, like this one.

Broccoli Soup For Babies And Toddlers
Broccoli Soup For Babies And Toddlers
Ingredients
- 1 large head of broccoli
- 1 onion
- 2 potatoes
- 2-3 cloves of garlic
- 2 tbsp almonds soaked overnight
- 1 tbsp organic vegetable stock powder
- 5 tbsp coconut milk
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 3 cups water
- salt and pepper taste
Instructions
- In a large pot roast garlic in hot olive oil.
- Now sauté the onions until translucent in color
- Add the broccoli, potatoes, almonds and 3 cups water followed by the vegetable stock and seasonings. (Skip vegetable stock when cooking for the baby or find salt free version)
- Let this boil for 20 mins.
- Once boiled let the soup cool down completely.
- Now add the soup to a blender with the coconut milk and blend until thick soup-like consistency.
- Transfer back to the pot and cook the soup for another 5 mins
- Serve with whole wheat toasted garlic bread and a quinoa side.
Notes
- Use a low salt vegetable stock powder, one that contains No-MSG when cooking for kids. You can skip on the vegetable stock powder when cooking for your baby.
- I prefer using canned coconut milk instead of fresh coconut milk because it is creamier in texture.
