Pumpkin Evening Soup for Babies

Pumpkin cooks into a naturally creamy vegetable soup without cream. The key is removing the hard rind and seeds, then cooking until every piece can be crushed with a fork.

Ingredients

  • 1 cup (150g) pumpkin
  • 1 cup (240ml) water

Preparation

  1. Wash pumpkin, remove hard rind, seeds and stringy centre, and cut flesh into small even cubes.

  2. Put pumpkin and water in a pan and simmer until the thickest pieces collapse easily under a fork; add water only as needed to prevent sticking.

  3. Blend or mash, using just enough cooking liquid to make a thick spoonable soup.

  4. Check for hard bits of rind and cool to a comfortable feeding temperature.

Serving by Age

Offer thick, smooth soup on a spoon rather than a watery drink. For babies comfortable with texture, mash instead of blending completely. Add an iron-rich food alongside this vegetable side.

Allergen Information

Pumpkin and water contain no intentionally added common major allergens. Check any butter, dairy or other optional additions separately.

Storage

Cool promptly and refrigerate clean, untouched portions in a covered container for up to 24 hours, or freeze promptly. Heat reheated portions until steaming hot throughout, then stir and cool before serving; discard leftovers from the feeding bowl.
