This cozy Broccoli and Potato Soup is creamy, nourishing, and just right for toddlers. It’s gentle in flavor, packed with veggies, and easy to adjust for little eaters of all ages. Perfect for picky eaters, early eaters, and even the whole family!
Melt the butter in a saucepan over medium heat. Add the onion and sauté until it becomes soft and fragrant.
Add the potato, broccoli, and vegetable broth. Stir, then bring everything to a gentle boil. Lower the heat and let it simmer until the vegetables are tender.
Blend the soup until smooth. For babies, blend until extra creamy. For older toddlers, you can leave it slightly chunky for more texture.
Stir in the milk and let it warm through. This makes the soup creamy and comforting.
Serve warm. Allow it to cool a little before serving to toddlers. Add fun toppings like a sprinkle of cheese or soft bread sticks if you’d like.
