It’s always difficult for me to choose pics for my guest recipe posts. When it comes to kids’ pics, all of them come out well. It was the same for this post. I have seen many pics of Shilpi’s kids as she uploads them on Facebook frequently, a habit I share with her I must add. :-) I have seen her daughter, Ryka’s pics since she was born up until now where she’s turned into a naughty toddler. Watching her pics has always been a visual treat, but I especially enjoy her recent ones where she’s up to some mischief. However, for this post I wanted to use this family pic of Shlipi. I loved everyone’s expression in this one; there’s so much joy and contentment evident. Touch wood. :-)
As always I’ve retained what Shilpi wrote as is. (You can view other recipes by Shilpi by clicking the label Shilpi’s recipes. Labels are displayed below each recipe. :-) I have added such labels for all guest recipes.)
Shilpi writes: “Even before my daughter was born, the doctors told me that she was a very tiny baby. And petite she was. She was only a little over 2 kg. I breastfed her for 6 months before starting on solids. The doctors were always happy with her growth chart and she was meeting all the age appropriate developmental milestones, but as a mother I was constantly worried about her size. Once she started solids, I took great care in preparing her meals so that she gets the adequate nutrition. Now she has started walking and as typical toddler, she is always on the move. Toddlers require a diet that is dense in calories and fat. I am always looking for foods that give her more calories, and this soup is high in calories and fat. And the best thing is it so easy to prepare.”
Potato and Corn Soup Recipe

- 1 potato
- Half cup sweet corn
- 1 glass of whole milk
- Half cup grated cheesehead

Instructions
- Boil the potato and sweet corn. Blend it in a blender until smooth. There shouldn’t be any lumps in the potato. ( you could use some whole milk to make the mixture smoother.)

- Add cheese and keep stirring.
- Let the soup simmer for few minutes before turning off the heat. (For older kids you can add a dash of peppercorn.)
Please mention for what age group this soup can be given
sounds delicious…going to try it in a few days…hope my kiddo likes it…
@Yashashri: Babies can be given this soup after dairy is introduced in their diet. I had not introduced cow/buffalo milk in Devansh's diet till he turned one. I had tried giving him cheese when he was around 10 months old but he wasn't able to digest it. However I know of some babies who had no problem digesting cheese and butter earlier than one. I would recommend one year till their digestive system is ready but then each baby is different so you'll need to take a call depending on your baby.
@Akila: I hope so too :)
This looks yummy. Soups are a hit at our house too.
Same here Priya…we had cream of spinach soup today :)
When u add milk and salt to it, doesn’t it spoil the milk?
Hi Sumana. Add milk after the potato and corn mixture has come to a boil. Cook on low heat and keep stirring. The milk doesn’t get spoiled even in soups such as cream of spinach (https://mummumtime.com/cream-of-spinach-soup-recipe/) or cream of mushroom (https://mummumtime.com/cream-of-mushroom-soup-recipe/), which are made using milk. Add salt in the end just before you turn off heat.
