Tomato soup for the babies and kids

Today I introduce a very easy and healthy food for your kiddos. Baby and kids love it because of its sweet and sourly taste.

In winter tomato soup is the regular food that I give to my daughter. But in summers also I prepare it for her in a week as she loves the taste of it.

Health benefits of tomato soup

Each bowl of tomato soup simmers with several nutrients that are highly beneficial for health. It contains vitamin E, A, C, K, essential minerals and antioxidants that can keep you as well as your baby healthy and fit.

  • Bone Health:

The vitamin K and calcium present in tomato soup can help you get healthy bones. Lycopene in tomato soup improves bone mass, fighting osteoporosis.

  • Disease-Fighting Lycopene:

As mentioned before, tomato soup comes packed with lycopene, the pigment that gives the fruit its bright color. Processed tomato contains more lycopene than raw ones. Tomatoes are rich in lycopene, which helps our skin against UV rays and antioxidants. The lycopene is released from tomatoes , when sauted in butter or any other oil. Here I have used butter instead of oil.

Blood Circulation

Selenium in tomato soup promotes blood circulation, preventing anemia.

  • Mental Health:

The high concentrations of copper in tomato soup boost to the nervous system.

  • Vitamins:

Tomato soup is an excellent source of vitamin A and C. Vitamin A is required for tissue development. Vitamin C is required to maintain healthy tendons and ligaments. Tomato soup provides 20% of the daily-recommended value of vitamin C. So, a bowl full of tomato soup a day can definitely help to keep the body healthy!

So lets jump to the recipe of tomato soup which i prepared for my darling…shall we?
