Pea soup for a 1-year-old child
Description
Pea soup is a dish beloved by many, as it is not only delicious but also rich in beneficial nutrients for the body. To maximize its benefits for your child, be sure to introduce pea soup into their diet in small portions. Observe your baby's reaction, and if peas do not cause bloating or an allergic reaction, feel free to include the soup in their daily menu. Fresh peas are best for cooking, while dried peas must be soaked in water for 5 to 12 hours. Prepare pea soup for children only with easily digestible meats such as rabbit, turkey, or chicken breast. No smoked meats! If your child doesn't like meat, simply replace the broth with water. Good luck! Serve the soup hot.

Step 7
The peas are ready. Since a good amount of water has evaporated during cooking, immediately add the required amount of broth. If your baby eats meat, separate the meat from the bones and add it to the pot with the peas along with the broth.

Step 8
I don't sauté the onion and carrot, but add them raw. Believe me, the taste of the finished soup will only benefit from this! At the same time, we also add the potatoes. Place the pot on the stove and simmer the soup over a gentle boil until all ingredients are fully cooked.

At the end, adjust the soup for salt. The pea soup for a 1-year-old child is ready. You can serve it as is, or puree it with a blender. I usually portion the leftovers into sterilized jars and store them in the refrigerator for several days. The ready soup just needs to be reheated.
