1½ cups (375mL) water

1 tbsp chopped onion

1 small (70g) carrot, chopped

2 tbsp red lentils

2 tbsp grated tasty cheese

2 tbsp frozen peas, thawed

Step by step

  • Cheesy Lentil Soup

    1. Place water, onion, carrot and lentils in a small saucepan over high heat; bring to the boil; simmer until lentils are tender, about 10-15 minutes; stir through cheese and peas.

    2. Puree in a food processor or blender until smooth, adding more boiled water if necessary to achieve the required consistency. For older babies, simply mash with a fork.

    TIP: For convenient quantities, place puree into ice cube trays and freeze. Each cube is equal to about 1 tablespoonful, which is just right for babies just starting out.
