"Prepared in most French homes throughout the winter, this soup can be served chunky or pureed. Always simple & fresh, it varies according to season. If you can't find all of the above vegetables, just use whatever you have on hand." ' Note: I would consider using frozen carrots & or other veggies because of the age of the child.
