Of course, we have tried "no dessert until the first course has gone" which leads to no food, cajoling and doubtless a few other tactics. Recently, we have provided at least a helping of the few accepted items so that at least scurvy is unlikely and generally, with a low key approach things have improved. This has been a bit slow so we have decided to go for a faster approach and a challenge.
We plan to try at least one new vegetable and one new fruit a month. Frequently, texture is an issue with new food so we may well rely reasonably heavily on pureed soups. Anyone who doesn't like the recipe is going to explain why! Seriously, I need to know if the issue is texture, smell or taste.
This is actually made with equal quantities of broad beans and peas. Broad beans aren't really completely new to us-we even grew a few last year-but aren't particularly familiar to the non-vegetable fans.
The soup was pureed and garnished with grilled bacon.
It was a success, apparently not up to lentil soup which is a real favourite, but good enough to eat and that is good enough for me!

What is it with lentil soup? That is a huge favorite around here too!!
ReplyDeleteThat looks delicious! Would you share the recipe? Blessings!
ReplyDeletePetra, I don't think that I can for copyright reasons but it is basically broad beans and peas cooked in a mixture of stock and milk and pureed.
ReplyDeleteMichelle, it is strange isn't it. I'm thankful though as it is such an easy lunch.
ReplyDeleteI will try it. Thank you!
ReplyDeleteThanks for linking up! Soup is a great way to serve veggies!! So glad your kiddos liked it! In fact, the majority of our dinners come in a bowl :)
