Baby – Chicken & Vegetable Soup with Barley

Neven Maguire

“One of the very first soups I cooked with my mother Vera. This is full of goodness and nutrition and, as they say in Cavan, there is eating and drinking in it! I make it for the twins but I replace the barley with Orzo which is a rice shaped pasta and they love it.”

Neven Maguire, Chef and Father

Tip! Once your baby is taking soft finger foods you can cut up small soldiers of brown bread for them to eat with their soup.

Toddler – Chicken and Vegetable Risotto

– Niamh Brannelly, Dietitian, Danone Baby Nutrition

You can add variety to this recipe by swapping chicken with fish such as salmon or cod.

Serves 6

Baby – Cheesy Chicken & Broccoli Pasta

First 1000 Days Team

“This recipe is a favourite of mine to share with mothers of infants I see under my care, it is a great source of calcium for a developing infant”

Orla Brady, Community Dietician, Westmeath

Serves 3, suitable from 7 months.

TIP! It’s quite handy to have some frozen vegetables in the freezer for those days when it’s all go. Frozen broccoli florets will work just as well in this recipe and are just as nutritious.
