I don’t know how it is in other families with small children, but in our family the star soups are the creamy soups. Whenever we have creamy soup (with croutons), Sofia leaves the bowl perfectly clean, as if she wants to make my work easier and spare me an extra dish to wash 🙂
So, taking into account that on days off, when he doesn’t go to kindergarten, I always prepare both soup and a main course for lunch, which we don’t serve together, but at a 2-3 hour difference between them, always the safest and fastest option is represented by a creamy soup.
Today I have chosen to present you the kids friendly version of the roasted red pepper soup recipe, the one that I prepare in autumn, when I have fresh red peppers on disposal, but also in the cold season, using red pepper preserved using the food preservation methods presented here, on blog.
So, let’s discover together how we can get the best red pepper soup quickly and easily, which is delicious and nutritious, to delight our little fellows.
What is roasted red pepper soup?
Maybe some of you have heard, or even enjoyed a bowl of roasted red pepper soup. The most popular versions of this dish are roasted red pepper and tomato soup or the famous red pepper Gouda soup. But today I chose to present you a kids friendly recipe. What does this mean? Basically, we will use a simple recipe of vegetable cream soup, to which we will add an extra taste using roasted red peppers.
I chose to use this recipe because this way I have the opportunity to introduce many vegetables full of important nutrients in the bowl of bell pepper cream soup that I will offer to my daughter.
You can use this “trick” even when you have picky eaters, who categorically refuse certain vegetables. By introducing these vegetables into the soup, which you will then blend, you will be able to “trick” them. It is not necessarily the most wonderful way to give the child a healthy meal, but if you have tried all the other options without success, I suggest you try to do this as well.
So, as I said, in my opinion, this is the best roasted red pepper soup recipe, especially if you have kids.
Is roasted red pepper soup healthy?
As I stated above, the recipe I chose to present to you today for roasted red pepper soup is full of extremely important nutrients both for the normal functioning of the body and for the development of children.
But that does not mean that other types of red pepper soup recipes are not as healthy. Here I mention the famous red pepper gouda soup or the well-known roasted red pepper and tomato soup, which are delicious and healthy, too. However, I don’t know if the combination of tastes and aromas is necessarily to the children’s taste in the case of these recipes.
Therefore, if we analyze the extremely short and simple list of ingredients used by me to obtain the best red pepper soup, we will notice how many benefits they bring to our health. Let’s take them one at a time…
- Carrots: Vision and Immunity Boosters
Carrots are a fantastic source of beta-carotene, which the body converts into vitamin A, crucial for good vision and a strong immune system. Their natural sweetness also makes them a favorite among children, ensuring they enjoy every spoonful of the soup.
- Onions: Layers of Health Benefits
Onions, while often underrated, are packed with antioxidants and compounds that have been shown to reduce inflammation and support heart health. They also add a depth of flavor to the soup, enhancing its overall appeal.
- Parsnip: A Root of Hidden Treasures
Parsnip, a root vegetable similar to carrots, is rich in fiber, vitamins, and minerals. It contains antioxidants and essential nutrients like folate and potassium, which are important for heart health and proper development.
- Zucchini: Gentle on Tummies, Rich in Nutrients
Zucchini is a gentle, digestible vegetable, making it perfect for children’s sensitive stomachs. It’s high in water and fiber, which aid in digestion, and is also a good source of vitamin C and other beneficial nutrients.
- Red Peppers: A Blast of Vitamin C
The star ingredient, red peppers, are exceptionally high in vitamin C, even more so than oranges. This vitamin is essential for repairing tissues, boosting immunity, and absorbing iron from plant-based foods. Roasting red peppers enhances their natural sweetness and makes the vitamin C more bioavailable.
So, blending these ingredients (ore any other vegetables that you love) into a roasted red pepper cream soup creates a meal that is not only delicious and comforting but also packed with vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants. This soup can be a fantastic way to introduce children to a variety of vegetables in a form that’s both appealing and easy to eat. It’s a perfect lunch option, providing essential nutrients for growing bodies and minds, and the creamy texture makes it especially kids friendly.
