Turkey Cauliflower Rice Soup for Babies (8 months+)

Preparation

1. 1

   Rinse dry rice, simmer it in safe water as directed by its packet until beginning to soften; extend cooking time for slow-cooking rice.

2. 2

   Peel and dice carrot, wash cauliflower and remove woody stalks. Add vegetables early enough that all pieces cook to complete tenderness.

3. 3

   Cook boneless turkey in the soup until its thickest part reaches 74°C (165°F), checked with a food thermometer.

4. 4

   Remove and finely shred cooked turkey, returning it to the pan. Check there is no firm rice, tough cauliflower or chewy meat fibre; add water as needed.

5. 5

   Mash or blend into a soft moist soup, cool before feeding and follow rice-specific hygiene for untouched portions.
