Ingredients:
100g chicken breast (boneless, skinless)
1 medium potato, peeled and diced
1 medium carrot, peeled and diced
1 tsp Lilo Premium Garlic & Onion Powder
1 tsp Lilo Premium Mushroom Powder
50-100ml Milk (Breastmilk/formula)
Directions:
1. Prepare the ingredients:
* Chicken: Cut the chicken breast into small chunks so it cooks quickly and evenly.
* Vegetables: Peel and dice the potato and carrot into small pieces for faster cooking.
2. Steam the ingredients in the Babycook:
* Place the chopped chicken, potato, and carrot into the Babycook steaming basket.
* Add water to the Babycook base (just enough to steam the ingredients). Since you're not using stock, you’ll want to ensure there's enough water for steaming.
* Steam for about 20 minutes, or until the chicken is fully cooked and the vegetables are very tender.
3. Blend the soup:
* Once everything is cooked, transfer the chicken and vegetables into the Babycook bowl.
* Add in Lilo Premium garlic & onion powder and Lilo Premium mushroom powder
* Pour in breast milk or formula milk to create a smooth, creamy consistency. Start with 1/2 cup, and add more if you want it thinner.
* Blend everything until smooth and creamy. If needed, you can adjust the texture by adding a little more milk or water to make it easier to swallow for a baby.
4. Check consistency:
* For babies just starting solids, make sure the soup is very smooth with no chunks. If you want an even finer texture, you can blend it longer, or pass it through a fine mesh strainer to remove any bits.
5. Cool and serve:
* Let the soup cool to room temperature or just slightly warm before serving it to your baby. Always check the temperature before feeding, as breast milk/formula milk can make it feel warmer than it is.
