4) Usually, i will peel off the outer layer of the mushroom and wash then squeeze out the water.

5) Cut all ingredient and sprinkle some herbs (it can be less or more, depending on your baby's preference).

6) Prepare the olive oil for cooking.

7) Pour a tea spoon or two olive oil and cook the ingredient.

Set the timer to 5 minutes and temperature at 100°C

8) I added the spinach soup which was prepared earlier then cook for another 10 minutes at 100°C.
 

9) after 10 minutes, you can see there is soupy-like. This texture will be good enough to blend it.

Note,
If there is too much soup it will become dilute and watery, you can remove some soup if you prefer a thicker texture for the puree.

11) Store and freeze it!

12) Serve the quantity you need.
