Moong Dal and Vegetable Soup

This comforting soup combines yellow moong dal with seasonal vegetables, making it an excellent choice for children. Moong dal is soft on the stomach, high in protein, and provides steady energy, while vegetables like carrots, beans, and spinach add essential vitamins and fibre.

The soup is colorful, mildly flavored, and smooth in texture, making it kid-friendly. It can be easily mashed or blended for toddlers. This makes it perfect not only for regular meals but also for days when a child is recovering from illness or needs a light, nourishing option.

By including both protein (from moong dal) and micronutrients (from vegetables), this soup supports growth, strengthens immunity, and keeps digestion healthy. It’s a simple yet powerful dish for children’s overall development.
