Roasted Butternut Squash with Cardamon Coconut Soup
Sippy Cup Soups perfect for little hands. Homemade Baby Food Recipes. Delicious baby weaning recipe that pack your baby with nutrients
Ingredients
- 1 Butternut Squash
- 3 Red Onions Peeled and Quartered
- 1 Whole Bulb Garlic about 10 Cloves
- 1 Tin Full Fat Coconut Milk
- 1 Litre Water or Homemade Vegetable Stock
- ¼ Teaspoon Dried Cumin
- 1 Teaspoon Dried Tumeric
- 1 Teaspoon Smoked Paprika
- 8 Cardamon Pods
- 1 Sprig Fresh Rosemary
- ¼ Cup Greek Yogurt
Method
- Pre-heat oven to 180ºC.
- Peel the butternut squash using a regular potato peeler, slice down the middle then remove the seeds. Cut into chunks roughly all the same size then place on a baking tray.
- Add to the tray the onions which should be peeled and quartered and then the garlic. I leave the skins on when roasting as it helps to keep it flavoursome and stops it going dry.
- Drizzle the vegetables with a little olive oil and then roast for about 30 minutes until the butternut squash is soft enough to stick a knife through.
- When the vegetables are cooked take the garlic out of the skin and then add everything (not the skin) to a large pot.
- Add all of your remaining ingredients except for the yogurt to the pot and heat up slowly until it is piping hot.
- Using a stick blender, blend everything until it is smooth and there is no lumps. Remember you are looking for a consistency that can be sucked up through a straw. If you need to add more water do so a 1/4 cup at a time.
- Stir in the greek yogurt until fully combined.
- Serve with some brown bread or in a sippy cup 🙂

Recipe Notes & Tips
Soup freezes really well. I make up indiviual portions using a regular sized muffin try and pour the soup until it comes to rougly 3/4 ways up each muffin compartment. Freeze for 24hours then run the back side of the tray under a warm tap for approx 5 secs. Turn upside down on a countertop and each individual soup should fall easily out. Place soup portions into freezer bags and don’t forget to label. They defrost overnight in a refrigerator or in less than 5 mins on a defrost setting in a microwave and are an amazing thing to have in a freezer for your baby.
