Yellow Squash + Thyme Baby Food Puree

This Yellow Squash + Thyme Baby Food Puree is a great first food for baby – mild, creamy and super delicious! Great for 6+ months – Stage 1 Baby Food.

This smooth and creamy puree is made with yellow squash, a small white potato, and a sprinkle of thyme. Since yellow squash is abundant in the spring and summer months, you have no excuse not to make it.

Because summer squash is loaded with water, I use a white potato for some extra thickness in this recipe. But if you aren’t into serving your baby potatoes, you can substitute an apple or pear instead.

This easy puree is made in exactly 3 steps and takes roughly 14 minutes to make, from chopping to finished puree. 14 minutes until you have this delicious puree bursting with summer’s favorite yellow vegetable!

Step 1 – Chop your veggies
Step 2 – Stack your baskets and push the steam button
Step 3 – Puree the zucchini into a smooth consistency

Done and Done!

Ingredients

• 2 medium yellow squash, trimmed and chopped
• 1 small white potato, chopped (see notes)
• 1/2 tsp fresh thyme, roughly chopped

Instructions

Instructions for Nutribaby

• Place the squash, white potato and thyme into the large basket. Start a 10 minute steam cycle.
• Let cool and then transfer all of the ingredients into the blender.
• Puree until smooth. I did not need to add any additional cooking liquid but if your puree is too thick, add 2 tablespoons of the cooking liquid in at a time until you achieve your desired texture.

Instructions for Regular Cooking Method

• In a medium saucepan, bring 2 inches of water to a boil. Add the squash, potato and thyme into a steamer basket and steam for 10 minutes. Let cool slightly. Reserve steamer water.
• Transfer all of the ingredients in to a blender of food processor and puree for 1-2 minutes or until smooth, adding water in 1/4 cup increments if needed.

Notes

Age: 4+ months

Yield: 15 ounces

Note on Potato: Feel free to use a cored, peeled and chopped apple or pear in this recipe instead of the potato.

Notes on Thyme: I steamed the thyme in this recipe so their flavors are more subtle, but for a big spice kick you can add the thyme right before pureeing.

Storage: Fridge – store in an airtight container in the fridge for 3-4 days. Freezer – can be frozen for up to 4 months (this and this are my favorite freezer storage containers).
