Healthy Soup Recipes for Babies to Get the Nutrients They Need

3 min read

Soups are a wonderfully simple and healthy way to introduce the little one to the world of adult food, especially if your little one isn’t so keen on drinking plain water. Have it with rice or pasta; with a bowl of soup, baby gets his nutrients and hydration in one go.

Best of all soup is really easy to make. Simply toss all ingredients into a double boiler or slow cooker and let it do the job. Of course, you can do it the old fashioned way over the stove as well, just remember to watch the fire!
