The recommended amount for a baby this age is between 24 and 32 ounces of formula. So she is getting enough! If you are worried you can also add some of the powdered formula into her cereal. However, babies will tell you how much they need. If she needs more formula, she will drink more.

You need to cut back on the solid foods. The bottle is more important right now until she is 1 yrs old.

don't let her cut back on the bottle. Only give her enough food so that it doesn't interfere with the formula. Just cut back little by little on the food till she is drinking the amount she should be drinking. My daughter, at that age, ate one jar of food in 2 days. So she barely ate any at all.

30 ounces a day plus solids sounds good. The growth rate also slows the second 6mths of life so it's normal. I have a child that age, he gets about 30 oz. formula plus about 6-10oz of solids in a day.

If you are seriously concerned then you need to talk to your pediatrician to alleviate your fears. I have 4 children, the youngest two are 19 month old twins so I have gone through this before. As babies start eating baby food, they fill up more on the food they are eating and want less milk.
