Hi, how is monsoon treating you ? For me monsoon brings in hearty warm soups, finger chips and a warm cup of black coffee. This time Anshika is fed a lot many variety of soups since she has cold and cough. She started rejecting almost everything fed and is in the mood for only soupy-liquid consistency. No worries . Let her eat what she wants to have; I decided. So thought of making wholesome nutritious soups for her which she will have without any fuss. Yes this one is beetroot carrot soup for babies.
Carrots are rich in beta carotene , Vitamin A and other minerals. It is an excellent laxative too. Beetroot on the other hand is a good source of iron, folate and manganese.

Hi Sangeeta,
Is it ok to give ghee to a 6 month old baby?
Yes Sugandha, completely fine. You can give 1/2 teaspoon of ghee a day.
Thank you for your reply. Can I try some new foods or should continue with what am giving now?
Continue with what you are giving. Introduce new foods within an interval of 3-4 days to check for allergies or rashes.
My LO just turned 6 months old, he is not eating Apple puree. What should I do in order to make him eat?
Sonali,
Refrain from giving apples for a week and then restart.See if he is liking it again.

Good recipie and I love your blog.can u tell me how to make beetroot puree n how its differ from beetroot soup.
Also should I introduce beetroot alone as a single veggiee or can be given along with carrot. My LO is alreday eating carrot puree.she is 7 months old.
Hi Kalyani thanks for commenting and welcome to Bumps n Baby. I will tell you the difference between a soup and a puree. Any vegetable or fish or meat cooked in water having a liquid consistency is a soup. Puree can be the blended form of a vegetable or fruit; not necessarily boiled.
But in the case of beetroots we can’t differentiate as they are seldom given raw to babies as such. You can give beetroot as a single veggie soup or can be combined with other veggies too. Its purely your choice.
Thanks for your quick reply sangeetha:)
Looks delicious and good for us too!! 🙂
