With loads of antioxidants and healing nutrients, this tomato ginger beetroot soup is the perfect food for your baby during the winter season!

We’re in the middle of a pandemic and the cold weather is slowly coming up – all reasons to ensure that you and your family are in the best of health to combat everything coming your way! This is particularly applicable to young babies, whose immune systems are still developing.

As we always say, the best way to do this is by including healing foods in the diet, foods that are in season and naturally warming. And we can’t think of anything better than soup, made with immunity-boosting ingredients!

So today we have a Tomato Ginger Beetroot soup – a delicious and healthy soup with an appealing color that kids will love. This soup is suitable for babies over 7 months, once they’re familiar with each of the ingredients individually. Tomatoes are loaded with lycopene, while ginger is a herb with some serious antioxidant power. All in all, this is a winter must have!

Ingredients:

• 2 medium size tomatoes
• A small piece of beetroot
• 1/4-inch piece of ginger

Method:

1. Wash the tomatoes. Peel the beetroot and ginger pieces. Chop the veggies roughly.
2. Add the chopped veggies with 1 cup water to a pressure cooker. Cover and allow the vegetables to cook for 2 whistles.
3. Turn off the flame. Allow the pressure to release on its own.
4. Now using a hand blender or food processor puree the tomato, beetroot and ginger. Strain it.
5. Add more water to it if the puree is thick. Heat the soup until it boils. Put off the flame. Add black pepper powder and serve the soup while warm. You may add ghee or homemade butter to the soup.

Some babies may have a rash from eating too many tomatoes, so adjust the recipe accordingly. You may add a pinch of black pepper powder to the soup if desired while serving. The pepper also aids digestion that tends to get sluggish during winter.
