Method

  1. Peel the potato3, cut into 1–1.5 cm cubes, cover with 250 ml of boiling water, and cook for 8 minutes.

  2. Add the frozen broccoli1 and cauliflower2 without thawing, bring to a boil, and cook, covered, for 10–12 minutes, until the florets are soft.

  3. Add salt and remove from the heat for 5 minutes to cool slightly.

  4. Blend with an immersion blender until smooth, adding a little hot water if needed.

  5. Pour in the cream4, add the butter5, stir, and bring to a boil.

  6. Let cool until warm and serve.

Tips

Why it works
Add the frozen cabbage without thawing, so it does not go mushy or lose bitterness into the water. A short cook of 10–12 minutes keeps the flavor mild with no sulfur smell.
Substitutions
Swap the cream for breast milk or infant formula, 40 ml, or just hot water with an extra 1 g of butter. Swap the broccoli for zucchini, 50 g.
Common mistakes
If the cabbage cooks longer than 15 minutes, the soup turns grey and smells sharply of cabbage. The color should stay light green and the smell neutral.
Storing and reheating
Keep in the fridge for 1 day, as the cabbage smell gets stronger on the second day. Reheat over low heat without boiling and cool to warm.
Serve with
Serve at lunch with soft white bread croutons without the crust, or with boiled rice on the side of the plate.

In short

  • A child's portion for ages 1–3; suitable from 12 months. For younger kids, halve it and purée.
