Healthy and tasty toddler friendly soup with spinach and avocado.
Jump to Recipe
When my little one was teething he refused to eat food, and very few semi solid and solid foods helped me during those days. Soup was one of my lifesavers for many such days, especially this Spinach soup and Broccoli soup. This easy green soup is loaded with goodness which is good for toddlers and adults, and is also a great soup for Vegan lovers:-)

Ingredients:
Spinach - 2 cups + 1/4 cup, roughly chopped stem removed
Avocado/Butter Fruit - 1
Olive oil -1 teaspoon
Onion - 1, medium size roughly chopped or 6 small onions (shallots)
Water - 1/2 cup
Garlic - 2
Pepper - as needed
Salt - as needed
Method:
- Add oil to a pan. When oil is hot, add the onions and garlic, and cook till onion becomes translucent. Add spinach and saute for 2-3 minutes. Add water and close the lid . Cook until greens are cooked. Switch off and let the mixture come to room temperature
- Peel, pit and mash the room temperature avocado. Add it to the spinach mixture along with pepper and salt. Blend until smooth, adding more vegetable broth or water (I added Water), if the soup is too thick. Taste and adjust seasonings/pepper if desired
My Notes:
- I have used the water in which the spinach was cooked. Instead, vegetable broth can also be used
- Adjust the soup consistency as desired. I generally make it thicker as it will be easier for me to feed my son:-)
- Since Avocado tends to oxidize, little lemon juice can be used if soup is served after a longtime or if required
- Butter or cheese can be added to give richness to the soup
- Cream can be added for extra richness
- Avocado can be used with any soup for getting the creaminess in the soup
