Butternut Squash Soup

This is an easy Yummilicious soup.

I just want to record some of the toddler recipes that my son enjoys.

I love my recent purchase- 1 and half liter pressure cooker. Lets me cook food for my toddler easily.

For this soup, you will need

Cut cubes of Butternut Squash- I used half a packet cut butternut cubes that Trader Joe's sells. Did I tell you how much I love TJs. The hardest part about this recipe is peeling and cutting the squash. So if you find precut banana squash, you are in for luck.

1 tomato- for half a packet squash

Garlic 1 or 2 pods (optional)

A pinch of dried ginger powder (optional) (Could not locate fresh ginger in my overcrowded fridge;-)

A pinch of cinnamon powder

A pinch of dried Oregano flakes


Place all of this in the pressure cooker and add salt and pepper as per taste and enough water and close the lid and place the whistle. Let it cook for 10-15 mins or until a few whistles.

When it gets a little cooler, I blended it with a hand blender.

Adjust seasoning, serve it in a bowl and drain it;-)

For a lil thicker/heavier toddler version: Add a little milk, butter and some grated cheese- Warm it for 10 seconds or till the cheese melts and add the soup to this and enjoy
