As soon as fall comes, we love to eat a tasty and satisfying soup. However, while taking care of one or more kids, it can be challenging to take your time for an extraordinary dish.
So, I've figured out a quick and easy recipe that the whole family will enjoy. You can easily vary it from day to day.
All you need is your favorite seasonal vegetable and a few more ingredients:
- 1 kg vegetables, for example squash, cauliflower, broccoli
- enough water so that the vegetables are slightly covered
- seasoning salt
- cream or coconut milk - if you like to
And the most important tool: a hand blender
- Cut your veggies
- let them cook until they are soft enough
- if there is still too much water left, then pour a little bit out
- put your pot away from the stove
- add your salt and cream if you like to
- blend until the soup has a creamy consistency
- as a topping you can use a delicious oil, cream or some squash seeds
This soup also is super suitable if you have a busy toddler that likes to help.
We use a wavy cutter for this purpose. This activity is Montessori inspired and will make your toddler feel extra proud. I have made the experience that my little one enjoys dinner more if he was able to help preparing it.
Here you can see my toddler cutting some apples, but it works perfectly with vegetables as well:
