With the arrival of a baby in the family, every mother thinks about how to make his menu varied and at the same time very healthy and affordable. Soups come to the rescue because they are a liquid product, help stabilize digestion and are perfectly absorbed by the body. The special ingredient is cauliflower. It contains many useful substances - vitamins, minerals. Cauliflower is more tender than white cabbage, it is lighter, digests faster, and does not irritate the intestinal walls. All of the above properties allow it to be used in preparing dishes for children.

For two servings we will need:

0.1 kg cauliflower,
2 medium sized potatoes
3 tablespoons rice,
1 carrot,
olive oil,
parsley.

How to cook

1. Wash the cauliflower thoroughly in cold water, cut into small pieces. By the way, it is better to put cabbage in boiling brine, because this way it retains maximum useful elements.

2. Peel the potatoes and cut them into small cubes.

3. Peel the carrots and grate them.

4. Wash the parsley, chop it finely, or better yet, tear it with your hands and add it at the end of cooking. This will make the soup more flavorful. If the child is picky, then greens in large pieces easy to remove from plate.

After preparing the products, we move on to the culmination part:

1. Place 3 tablespoons of rice, grated carrots in boiling brine and boil.

2. Add chopped potatoes and olive oil.

3. When our vegetables are almost cooked, add chopped cabbage to the soup.

4. Add the greens and bring our soup to readiness. This will take 10-15 minutes at a low simmer.

5. Let our soup brew, pour it into a plate and decorate with herbs. If desired, you can add butter or crackers.

Appetizing, useful, low calorie soup ready! Even the most picky child will not resist this dish. Now mom doesn’t have to worry, her baby’s lunch is tasty and healthy.

Bon appetit!

"Sheep in the Meadow"

(Age: from 1 year)

Hello, my dear site visitors - about the right baby food. To begin with, I would like to congratulate you on the upcoming spring holiday - March 8th. I wish you and your children good health, great happiness and all the best. Today I am again adding to the section that is leading in the voting - . This is pureed cauliflower soup. To begin with, I want to write a little about how healthy cauliflower is for a child and about the puree soup. This puree soup recipe is suitable for children from one year old, or a little earlier.

Preparing puree soup, as we all know, is different in that at the end its ingredients are ground using a sieve; now it is easier to do this with a blender until smooth. Thanks to this, the puree soup has an enveloping property and is ideal for young children from one to three years old, since at this age the mucous membrane of the stomach and intestines is still very sensitive.

As we are preparing today pureed cauliflower soup, so let’s further figure out how healthy cauliflower is for a child. If you go through the composition of cauliflower. It is very rich in vitamin C; if your child eats 50 grams of cauliflower per day, then he will be provided with the daily requirement of this vitamin C. It also contains a lot of vitamins PP, B1, B2, much more than white and red cabbage. It is also rich in potassium, phosphorus, iron, magnesium, calcium, and iodine. Cauliflower contains a significant amount of essential amino acids, it is also rich in enzymes that remove toxins from the body, and contains quercetin, which helps prevent the appearance of malignant tumors. Its protein is very well absorbed by the child's body. It is important to know how to cook cauliflower for your child in order to retain all the useful things in it. It needs to be boiled in a small amount of water, covered and for a very short time (about five minutes after boiling), or in a double boiler, but a little longer.

It remains to remember one more ingredient in cauliflower puree soup - this green peas, I wrote about its benefits in children's recipe- “Princess and the Pea.”

Cauliflower puree soup recipe

To make the puree soup you will need:

(for 2 servings)

1. 2 tablespoons of green peas (frozen or fresh);

2. 200 grams of cauliflower (I used frozen);

3. 1 large carrot;

4. 1 small onion;

5. several sprigs of greenery.

6. 1 tablespoon of sunflower oil.

How to cook.

1. Place 300 ml on fire and bring to a boil. water. Wash and peel the onions and carrots well. Because at the end we will still grind them and in order to preserve the maximum of useful substances, you can boil them whole, or you can cut them if you want to reduce the cooking time. So, throw carrots and onions into boiling water and cover with a lid. Bring to a boil and reduce heat to low.

2. After 15 minutes, add cauliflower and green peas (fresh or frozen) to the vegetables in the soup. Bring to a boil and cook for 5 minutes. At this time, wash the greens (dill, parsley), chop them finely and add to the soup. Let it boil again and remove from heat.

3. Let it cool a little, and at this time we prepare the decoration, it takes a maximum of 5 minutes. Take 2 large pieces of cauliflower correct form- these will be the “little bodies” of the sheep. 2 more small ones - “heads”. Instead of eyes, insert cloves or peppercorns and cut long strips from parsley, they will bend a little - these are “horns”. To make the “horns” easier to insert, use toothpicks to make holes. That's it, our sheep are ready.

4. Vegetables with vegetable broth grind using a blender. Salt a little and add unrefined sunflower oil. My daughters eat well with this oil, if your baby doesn’t like it, add a little butter. And sunflower (or olive) in the salad. Pour into plates, you get about 2 servings, depending on the age of your child.

Place the sheep on top, in the center of the plate. Can be served puree soup with cauliflower children.

5. Also, after about two and a half years, my eldest daughter began to feel bad about eating any puree soup, due to its homogeneous consistency. I don’t cook it often, once or twice a week for a variety of flavors. That's why I make crackers for her. I cut off a piece of bread, cut it into cubes and dry it for about 3 minutes in the microwave. Then I put a saucer with crackers for her separately. She throws the croutons into the creamy cauliflower soup one at a time, she likes it that way. The youngest eats with pleasure even without crackers. You can also add pieces of boiled meat to the prepared puree soup. Bon appetit!

You should not add the product to the dish if for some reason the child refuses to eat it.
