If you are looking for easy lunch or dinner ideas for babies, toddlers or older kids, this tasty White Bean Soup is perfect! This creamy, protein-packed soup can be easily adapted to your liking, so the whole family can enjoy it together. Made with simple ingredients like white beans, potato, cauliflower and seasoned with sauteed onions and garlic, it provides essential nutrients without overwhelming flavors, which is ideal for young palates. This soup is vegan, allergen-friendly, egg-free, dairy-free, gluten and nut free.

Nutritional Benefits:

White beans, such as cannellini beans, are loaded with protein, fiber, and important minerals like iron, calcium, and magnesium, all of which support growth, energy, and digestive health. For babies and toddlers, the creamy texture can be soothing and easy to consume.

Cauliflower is rich in vitamins C and K, which support immune health and bone health. It also contains folate, crucial for healthy cell growth, especially important in infancy. Cauliflower’s fiber content supports digestion and helps establish healthy gut function, which can be particularly beneficial as babies are just beginning to explore new foods. The vegetable also contains choline, an important nutrient for brain development, supporting memory and learning as babies grow.

Potatoes provide energy through complex carbohydrates and are gentle on a baby’s digestive system. They’re a great source of vitamin B6, which aids in brain development, as well as vitamin C and potassium, which help support the immune system and maintain proper hydration and muscle function.

How to Serve:

For babies serve as is.

For toddlers and adults a sprinkle of fresh herbs, a drizzle of olive oil, or a bit of parmesan cheese goes perfectly. I like to eat it with a side of sourdough bread.

Substitutions:

Cannellini Beans- I used cooked jarred cannellini beans, you can replace with white navy beans

I don’t recommend changing any other ingredients in this recipe.
