Weaning Diaries: Beetroot and Carrot Soup

My little one is teething and it's all drool and runny noses at the moment! I have muslins handy in each room of the house to wipe him up. He is struggling to eat and have his milk as he can't breathe well. Poor thing is frustrated! Yesterday he struggled with lumps in his foods and was gagging alot. So this brightly colored soup worked a treat at lunch today-watery yet thick enough. Also rich in Vit A, fiber and naturally sweet which babies love!

I have made 4 portions and this soup is perfect for babies at 6 months:

1/2 cup of chopped carrot
1/2 cup of chopped beetroot
3/4 cup of water

1. Combine the above in a pressure cooker and let it whistle twice.
2. Blend and serve (you might want to strain if you wish to)

  1. If you dont have a pressure cooker, then cook the carrot and vegetable on medium heat for 25-30 mins or till fully cooked and blend.
