How to make Broccoli Soup Recipe - For Babies/Toddlers above 7 months
To begin making the Broccoli Soup, we begin by washing the broccoli florets thoroughly.
Once the Broccoli is washed, add this to a pressure cooker with 1/4 cup of water and a pinch of salt.
Close the lid and pressure cook for 1 whistle. Release the pressure immediately as broccoli cooks very fast and if it cooks any further, the broccoli florets will lose the nutrition that it has to offer to your baby.
Soak the almonds in hot water for 15 minutes and remove the skin.
Transfer the broccoli florets along with the water into a bowl and allow it to cool.
Add the cooled Broccoli florets along with the water that it was cooked in and the almonds into a mixer and blend until it forms a smooth texture.

Stir well until all the ingredients are well combined.
Let the broccoli soup for the baby stay on low heat for 2-3 minutes, turn off the heat.
