Warm comfort food for you and your little one for this fall and winter season.
Hello, everyone. Soup season is finally here. I really look forward to this time of the year because it is a blessing after months of Arizona summer heat. To my delight, my daughter loves having soups and is eager to try new ones. So I get a perfect opportunity to work on some new recipes and feed her fresh and healthy seasonal delights.
I have used sweet potatoes, apples, and celery to base my soup in today’s recipes. To give it a fall flavor, I have seasoned it with the cinnamon stick and pumpkin spice. I have used vegetable broth/stock for this recipe. But you all can make this with chicken or beef stock too.
Since I have used my version of homemade vegetable stock, it is filled with nutrients from various vegetables that I have added to the stock.
Sweet potatoes are filled with vitamin A and beta-carotene along with potassium. They also contain a good amount of vitamin E, calcium, and folate. Filled with fiber, sweet potatoes help maintain good digestive health for little tummies. They are a great starter food for babies.
When selecting sweet potatoes for homemade baby food, make sure to pick those that are not bruised and free from brown or soft spots. Store these in a cool dark place; I like to keep them in my potato basket. I usually buy a big one and then peel and cut into pieces and store it in a ziplock in the freezer. This makes my job easy while making recipes for baby food or general cooking.
This Pumpkin Spiced Sweet Potatoes And Apple Soup is a perfect way to warm up this fall and winter season. #soups #comfortfood #recipesatEBM Share on X
This soup is great for babies 8 months and above. I like to top this soup with walnuts for a little added crunch for older children and grown-ups. But you can skip this and add croutons. I hope you all enjoy this soup with your loved ones on cold winter days and love it as much as I enjoyed making and serving it to my family. Talk to you all soon again.
