Mixed Vegetable Soup - Easy and healthy soup for babies with mixed veggies like carrot, beans, peas, bottle gourd, etc.
INGREDIENTS
Carrot - 1 tbsp chopped
Beans - 1 tbsp chopped
Fresh Peas - 10 taken from the pod
Potato - 1 tbsp chopped
Bottle Gourd - 2 tbsp chopped
Tomato - 1 tbsp chopped
Salt - a pinch
Butter/Ghee - ¼ Tsp
Pepper powder - a tiny pinch (optional)
Jeera Powder - a pinch (optional)
Water - as needed
Preparation
1) Sterilise the bowls and spoons used for feeding your baby in a vessel with hot water for five minutes and keep it immersed in the same until use.
Method
1) Wash all the vegetables in running water well. Then peel the skin off from carrot, beans, tomato, bottle gourd and potato with a peeler. Then chop them into equal size small cubes. Steam the chopped veggies in a steamer for 10 minutes. We have used Philips Avent steamer come blender for both steaming and blending. Alternatively, you can steam it with Idli steamer plate by adding a cup of water or pressure cook it with a cup of water for three whistles.
2) Once the vegetables are steamed, it will be soft and transparent. Now blend it with little water to a smooth paste in a blender. Alternatively, you can strain them using a filter to get a clear soup. Then reheat the blended soup with butter or ghee in a vessel for two minutes with salt, pepper and jeera powder (if using). Switch off the flame and serve warm.
Notes :
1) You could use any seasonal vegetables of your choice for making this soup. But ensure that your baby is not allergic to any of those vegetables.
2) As some babies can’t digest the acidic nature of tomatoes, Add tomatoes to this mixed vegetable soup only after the baby completed seven months.
3) Make sure to peel and de-seed the tomatoes.
4) Adding jeera and pepper powder is purely optional.
5) Introduce this mixed vegetable soup to your baby once her tummy is adjusted with a couple of veggies and also when introducing give it as a clear soup and later you can make it thick without straining.
6) Always check with your pediatrician before introducing any new food.
7) Steaming is a healthy option for baby food than pressure cooking. So prefer steaming using an Idli pot or steamer.
