Ingredients

  • 1 medium parsnip (about 100g), peeled and chopped
  • 1 small potato (about 80g), peeled and chopped
  • 250 ml water
  • 1 tbsp breast milk or formula (optional)
  • 1 tsp olive oil (optional)

Preparation

  1. Peel parsnip and potato and dice into even small cubes, discarding woody parsnip cores if present.

  2. Simmer in the measured water until both vegetables crush completely with a fork; add safe water only as necessary.

  3. Blend into a thick smooth spoonable soup, checking for fibrous or hard pieces.

  4. Stir in optional olive oil. If using expressed breast milk or prepared infant formula, add after cooking according to its safe handling guidance rather than boiling it.

  5. Stir well and cool to feeding temperature before serving.
