Two tasty soups for toddlers:
1. Gnocchi shrimps soup with white turnip
This soup allows your child to experience a broad variation of flavors. Shrimps are a good resource of proteins, the gnocchi contain a good amount of carbohydrates which your child needs for the development of its brain. Turnip is rich in various vitamins like Vitamin A, C, and especially K. Vitamin K is very important for the binding of calcium in bone.
