Parisian Carrots – Baby’s Puree or Family’s Ginger Carrot Soup? Recipe for Carrot Baby Food and Ginger Carrot Soup
Two days ago I steamed up so many that I could have feed an entire rabbit herd (yes, a group of rabbits is called a herd now you know!). Today I took the extras and created 2 recipes that babies and older kids like us can enjoy as well.
My left overs equaled about 4 heaping (carrots dropping out and rolling across the kitchen) cup fulls. I pureed them, without adding any liquid. I easily could have filled 2 ice cube trays with this lovely orange puree. Thats about 12-24 meals for babies between 6-8 months old! If I had added water and thinned this puree, I think I could have doubled the yield.

Ingredients
- Any amount of carrots you desire peel and chop the carrots or use the carrots from your meal
- Water, Breast Milk or Formula to thin as required for your babys preference
Steam the carrots until nice and fork tender. You can also roast the carrots on a baking sheet, in a 400 degree F oven, but be sure to toss them in a bit of olive oil and then onto roasting. Allow carrots to cool a bit then transfer to your pureeing gadget and puree away. Add liquid as you are pureeing (if needed). Keep pureeing until your desired consistency is reached.
Freezes well and keeps in the fridge for up to 72 hours max
