New Connor Recipe!

Sweet Potato Soup for Baby (8 months)
1 1/2 cups cooked sweet potatoes
1 tablespoon flour
1 tablespoon unsalted butter
1 1/2 cups broth (chicken or vegetable broth)
1 tablespoon light brown sugar (optional)
1/4 teaspoon ground ginger
1/8 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/8 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1 cup milk (use whole milk or use 8 oz. whole milk yogurt)
Mix the flour and butter to make a roux in a large saucepan. The roux will look a carmel color.

Add the broth and brown sugar, bring to a boil, then lower to a simmer. Stir in the sweet potatoes and spices, bring to a simmer again, and cook for 5 minutes more.
In a blender or food processor, puree the soup in batches and return to saucepot. Add the milk, and reheat soup. Season with salt and pepper, ladle into warm soup bowls and serve.
You can also just use sweet potato puree and skip the pureeing as shown above.

I just made this recipe for Connor and let him try it.. Lunchtime today is going to be fun. He LOVED it! I used the whole milk yogurt instead of milk.. It was vanilla flavored too. It really is good! I would eat some myself :)
