Simple Soup (for Babies)

I have a 10 month old who refuses to grow teeth and leave baby food behind.  I was desperate to move her to "people" food and threw this soup together one night.  And boy did it work!  She sucked this soup down so fast that I was amazed.  I promise that it is nearly impossible to choke on.  My daughter chokes on everything and ate this with no problem.  And if you don't have an infant this is perfect for the common cold too!

For an infant this makes about 5 servings and will last stored in the refridgerator for 5 days

4 Cups Low Sodium Chicken Broth
10 to 12 Baby Carrots, sliced fairy thin
1/4 to 1/3 Cup of Pastina

Pour the chicken broth into a sauce pan and heat on medium high heat.  Add the sliced carrots and bring to a gentle boil.  Once bubbling, add the pastina and cook, stirring occasionaly for 6 minutes.  Be prepared, the pastina will grow!  If the soup is too thick for you, add 1/2 cup of water.

Be sure to test the carrots and make sure they are soft.  If they need a few more minutes lower heat to medium low and cook an additional 5 minutes.
