Say cheese!!! Do you like cheese? I am not a great fan of cheese though I indulge in them, once in two weeks or so.
When it came to my baby, she has got her father’s taste buds; she loves cheese! So when she turned eight months old, all I thought was introducing cheese as part of her intake.
I knew cheese goes very well with broccoli, so why not make a dish out of it for my girl, here the recipe goes.
Cheese is rich in calcium, protein, phosphorous and fat, whereas broccoli is enriched with Vitamin C and dietary fibers. Lets see how to make broccoli cheese soup /mash.
Things required
- Cheese – 1 slice
- Broccoli – 5 florets
- Water – half a cup
Preparation
- Wash the broccoli florets well
- Steam the florets with water or upto one whistle in pressure cooker
- When cooled , purée the steamed broccoli with Cheese
- Add water to adjust the mash consistency and yummy broccoli cheese soup or mash is ready
Note: Check for gas / allergy reactions when you first introduce this to your baby
I used Britannia cheese along with broccoli for my baby.
My baby loves this and I hope your baby loves it too.

What cheese is best and where can i find it?
Hi. Really mice n helpful blog. Love reading ur articles. Very informative.
Just a small doubt abt the above recipe cheese n broccoli soup. As v knw cheese is for calcium wheras broccoli has high content of iron. Calcium hampers the absorption of iron. Then should v mix dese two ingredients n give d baby?? I am not sure of my understanding is correct. Would love to lnow ur views on this

Cheese slice has lot if salt which a child below 1 year shoukd not consume… plz confirm…
Trusha, yes you can give cheese to your baby. Always refrain from using salt and sugar for babies below 1 year old. If possible, give cottage cheese or paneer.
Is it fine to give cheese slice to babies as it has preservatives.
Dipti,
You can replace processed cheese with cottage cheese if you are concerned about preservatives.

Hi do we need to melt cheese before grinding
Shama
Hi Shama ,
We need not melt cheese before grinding.. It blends it with teh broccoli as it is steamed .. Blend well until cheese gels with teh entire mixture ..
