Baby Food! Butternut squash soup.

So this time has come. My baby girl weaning time!!! Say no to baby jars, cook and freeze your own soups, pastas and others.  I will help you with some ideas! Lets start with Butternut Squash Soup:

Thinly dice/slice:
1/3 leak
1/2 courgette  (yellow one)
1 large sweet potatoe
1/2 parsnip
3 carrots
Put them into a pan with tea spoon of unsalted  butter. And cover with boiling water (just cover the vegatables)

Half butternut squash, get rid of seeds, put into ovenproof dish, add a bit of good olive oil and bake for about 30minuts, 180C, until soft.  We will use just half for this soup.

When vegetables are cooked, add baked Butternut squash  (just spoon it out), ad handfull of freshly chopped dill and blend everything together. 
You can make it into mash, or leave some lumps for texture.

This can be given as one of very first baby food just after 6 months old. Its tasty, filling, have all the goodness of vitamins!

This amount will make about 8 baby portions.  You can freeze them and keep for approximately 3months in -18C.
