Soups for toddlers

soups for toddlers - gnocchi shrimp soup with white turnip
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.

age: above 12 months

Ingredients:

- Gnocchi, one portion (please refer to How to make Chinese Gnocchi)
