Carrot soup for solids?

Carrot is a commonly used vegetable for starting solids, and babies generally enjoy it. To serve as a soup, you can boil carrots until very tender (steaming actually preserves more nutrients) and blend into a puree. From the 6th month, plain carrot puree alone is a fine starting point. After 7-8 months, you can add a teaspoon of olive oil and thicken it slightly with a bit of rice or potato if you'd like.
Tip: Carrot does contain natural sugar, and if it's given too often and in large amounts as the only vegetable, some babies may become reluctant to try other vegetables. Serving it 2-3 times a week and rotating with other veggies keeps things balanced. Don't add salt or spices; its natural, plain taste is plenty. When trying it for the first time, start with 1-2 teaspoons, and if there are no allergic signs (rash, diarrhea) the next day, you can gradually increase the amount.
