Carrot Beetroot Soup for Babies

Published: July 30, 2015 | Last Updated on: March 29, 2022 | by Dr Hemapriya

Jump to Recipe Print Recipe
In most Indian homes, the preferred choice for a baby’s first food is some kind of cereal, usually white rice.  While grains are certainly a great first food, root vegetables come a close second. Root vegetables include potatoes, sweet potatoes, carrots, parsnips and beets. They’re naturally sweet, easy to cook and puree and rarely cause allergies. They also make baby’s food much more colorful!
When choosing root vegetables, go for ones that are firm and with blemish-free bright skin. Be sure to wash them properly before preparing them for baby. Today’s recipe is a combination of two brightly colored vegetables – Carrot Beetroot Soup for Babies. This is a really healthy soup with a number of health benefits for growing babies.

    I have already tried carrots for my 6 month old. Should I first try beetroot separately with the 3 day rule before trying this recipe ?

    You are doing a really good job by putting together so much info. Thank you 🙂

      Hi Rinku,
      Thanks a lot for your feedback dear. Each and every ingredient has to be given separately to check for the bowel movements. If baby is comfortable, you can proceed further.

      You can try now. Give in small quantities to rule out any allergy.
