Zucchini and Potato First Soup — A Soft Start for 6+ Months
A smooth, creamy first soup for babies 6 months and up, bringing together the mild taste of zucchini and potato with nothing added — gentle and easy to digest.
Ingredients
- 1 small (about 150 g) Small zucchini (peeled, large seeds removed)
- 1/2 medium (about 80 g) Potato (peeled, diced)
- 1 cup (about 200 ml) Drinking water or boiled warm water
- 1 teaspoon (about 3 ml) Extra-virgin olive oil
- 2-3 tablespoons Breast milk, formula or cooking water for consistency
Directions
- 1
Wash your hands and the bowl, spoon and countertop you will use thoroughly. Peel the zucchini and remove the part with large seeds; then peel the potato and cut it into small cubes.
- 2
Put the vegetables in a small pot and add enough plain water to cover them. Once it boils, simmer over low heat until they are soft enough to crush easily with a fork (about 12-15 minutes).
- 3
Drain the cooked vegetables, setting aside a little of the cooking water. Transfer the warm vegetables to a bowl.
- 4
Add one teaspoon of extra-virgin olive oil. Mash well with a fork or blend until you have a smooth purée.
- 5
Thin it with breast milk, formula or the reserved cooking water until you reach a creamy consistency that flows yet still holds on the spoon, suitable for your baby's age. Make sure there are no lumps.
- 6
Adjust the soup to be warm (body temperature); check the temperature on the inside of your wrist before serving. Prepare it fresh and serve it in the same meal.
- 7
If zucchini or potato is a new food for your baby, introduce it on its own for 3 days and calmly observe any reactions.
🌱 Why is it nourishing?
Zucchini, with its light and watery texture, is a gentle choice for your baby's first vegetable trials, while potato adds a soft, satisfying consistency. Together they make a smooth, easy-to-swallow soup that makes getting to know vegetables enjoyable during the complementary feeding period. The added teaspoon of extra-virgin olive oil makes the texture silkier and can contribute to healthy fat intake.
