Chicken soup recipe for little one-
Chicken Soup is highly nutritious mixture of proteins that is very easy for your baby to digest. Chicken can be introduced to your baby from 8 months onwards (AAP and WHO says it can introduce as early 6 months).Chicken soup is best remedy to give babies in cold and cough.
Ingredients-
- Chicken - 2 pieces (I prefer boneless chicken breast)
- Garlic-1 or 2 clove
- Onion - 1 small
- Vegetables ( carrot ,beetroot, spinach, beans , green peas , potato ) - 1 small cup
- Water / Chicken Stock - 2 cup
- Butter - 1 spoon
How to make it-
- Wash and clean the chicken
- Chop the garlic and onion
- Cut the veggies to squares
- In a pressure cooker add butter and saute garlic and onions till it turns translucent (you can put little ginger too)
- Add the veggies and let it fry for few mins then add chicken pieces in it
- Pressure cook for 2 whistles with water
- Once cooled off , blend the mixture and strain the clear watery soup or you an serve blend chicken purée to your baby.
Note-
-No need to blend if baby is able to chew the soft veggies and chicken,just mash with back of spoon or remove chicken with a slotted spoon or any spoon and place on a cutting board. Chop chicken into very small pieces and return to cooker and serve hot soup to your baby.
- 1/2 cup of plain pasta, any shape, already cooked can be added to chicken soup. Just before serving to your baby (don't forget to get it boil with soup for 5 min at least)
-You can alter soup as much as your baby like by adding fewer vegetables or more liquid.
