Finding time to cook healthy food while you are breastfeeding and pumping is sometimes a struggle. It can be hard to find the time to look after yourself, let alone spending hours in the kitchen preparing fancy meals.

A quick soup is an almost perfect food for breastfeeding moms. They are easy to make, don’t need much tending, and can usually be thrown into a crock pot or instant pot and ignored until they are cooked. With most of these breastfeeding recipes, you will have enough left over that you can pop it in the freezer for a quick meal on another day.
And when it’s time to eat, you can pour your soup into a mug, allow it to cool and drink it with one hand while breastfeeding.
