This recipe is improvised from the creamy vegetable soup recipe and I just reduced the amount of ingredients used and minus away the margarine, salt and pepper. There is no need to add any sugar or salt to baby meal. This is a real tasty meal, all the flavour and sweetness come from various vegetables used here.

wow! thanks for this recipe! I'm going to try this now! :-) I didn't know babies can take onions...
ReplyDeleteI just tried this! I find that the portion is quite a lot, so I proportion into 3 small servings, 2 of which I put in freezer.
ReplyDeleteMy baby loves it and finished it all pretty fast! :-)
I was initially worried that the onions & leek would be too much for her, but it seems alright.
I didn't have cauliflower at home so I skipped that. Perhaps with that, it'll taste even heavenly! haha
Thank you very much :D Great to hear from you.
ReplyDeleteHaha..., yes, the portion wise, I couldn't really gauge well now, no Baby at home to test out. That's also one of the reasons I didn't create much BB recipes.
Onions, it depends on individual whether to include onions or garlic in the vegetarian diet and also how each individual can take it :) I added 1 small clove of garlic to my Baby's Congee when my boy was a BB. He was ok with the taste and the ingredient.
Have a lovely Sunday.
Cheers :)
