How do I make puree for my baby?

Answer 1

"Puree" is not a type of soup. It is a method of thickening up the soup before serving it.

After your soup is made, you can either run it through a sieve or strainer OR you can put it in a food processor. Putting it in any of these mechanical devices will smash-up the vegetables into tiny bits and cause the entire soup to have a thicker consistency.

For more info, you can type "puree a soup" into a browser and check the internet.

Answer 2

Here's a recipie that I found on the web:

• 2 tablespoons butter
• 1 onion, peeled and chopped finely
• 1 1/2 pounds carrots, peeled if needed and sliced thinly
• 1 large potato, peeled and sliced thinly
• 1 clove garlic, crushed
• 4 cups chicken stock
• 1/4 teaspoon pepper
• 1/4 cup whipping cream
• salt to taste
• chives, chopped

In a large sturdy soup pot (or Dutch oven), melt the butter on medium heat. Cook the onions, carrots, potato, and garlic in the butter for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally. Add the chicken stock and pepper and bring the soup to a boil. Turn the heat down so that the soup is just barely bubbling. Cover the pot and cook the soup for 30 minutes.

Remove the soup from the heat and allow it to cool enough so you can comfortably puree it, using either a food processor or blender. Work in small batches and watch out for hot splashing soup! Once it is pureed return the soup to a pot. You can also puree this soup using a stainless steel food mill for a very smooth soup.

When you are done pureeing all the soup, stir in the whipping cream and season to taste with salt and additional pepper. You can further season this soup with such things as powdered dry ginger, cumin, and curry. All of these flavors go very nicely with carrots. I also like a pinch of cayenne.

Heat the soup to serve. Serve in bowls and garnish with chopped chives.

Makes about 6 - 1 cup servings

You can use a stick blender. You can get an inexpensive stick blender for $15.00. If you already have a regular blender you can use that as well. I have a drinks blender and I use it all the time to puree tomatoes and soups!.

Answer 4

It is relatively simple to make puree for babies. There are systems that help blend the food like the Baby Bullet. A regular food processor can also work.

Answer 5

Puree soup has been put through a sieve, blender or food processor after cooking, so the resulting soup is smooth and thick, without any lumps.
