Yummy nutritious Soups

I am trying to invent recipes to feed my daughter the best available ingredients and talking of colour and sense organs I try to distract her to eat while playing.We mums are pretty after the child for eating and the day really goes good  when they eat as per our wish.Yesterday was such day when i cooked for her soup and she loved it,liked the colour and flavour and so it has become our evening family break.
I would be giving away my two favourite recipes...
1)Spinach corn milk soup
2)Carrot tomato ginger/garlic soup

Spinach soup ingredients:
-A bunch of spinach
-A cup of corn boiled and mashed(cream of corn works well)
-A cup of milk
-Salt to taste
-Butter
-Black pepper freshly grounded (not for baby)

So we begin with the blanching(washed spinach is put in hot water and then in cold  water) and pureeing the spinach for base.We take a pan add 1/2 tea spoon of  butter and add spinach puree and then add corn which was mashed and boiled.Saute the mix and then after two three minutes add milk to it .give it a boil and serve hot with pepper .It tastes great and is really nice for kids.

Carrot,tomato with ginger/garlic soup ingredients:
-Three caroots
-Five tomatoes
-Ginger/garlic shreds of almost half tablespoon
-Butter
-Freshly ground pepper


This healthy treat is simple yet tasty to gulp,sweetness of  carrots neutralise the acidity of tomatoes and your choice of flavour of  either ginger or garlic adds another twist.One step cooking ,take a  pressure cooker add all veggies washed and thickly chopped with water approximately two glasses of volume.After three whistles take the hot mixture  out and blend it in mixer.Finally strain and boil for few minutes.Serve with  butter and salt
to taste.Add pepper as per your heat intake.
Happy souping!!!
