The soup that J would never turn down.
You can also save the cooked butternut squash chunks as finger food for baby to eat. Homemade chicken broth has so much flavour and nutrients, that you don't really need to add any salt to this soup for flavour. Sometimes I mix it with J's pasta as a sauce to get him to take in more vegetables.
Makes enough for 4 adults, 1 baby, and ten 2oz servings to freeze for baby.
1 medium sized butternut squash
1 medium sized onion, about 1 cup, chopped
6-8 cloves of garlic, minced
1 apple, chopped
1 zucchini, chopped (could use same amount of carrot, potato, any other vegetable instead)
1 tsp dried thyme, or 2-3 sprigs of fresh thyme
1 tsp dried ginger
1 tsp dried nutmeg
2 cups of chicken broth (homemade, or organic unsalted)
greek yogurt (to stir into soup)
salt for flavour (omit for baby's soup. flavour is enough for baby)
