Simply Super Baby Stew Recipe

Course: Main Course
Author: Ann Timm

Ingredients

  • 1 cup ground chicken or other meat
  • 1 sweet potato
  • 1/3 medium turnip peeled
  • 1 small parsnip peeled
  • 1/2 kale leaf chopped
  • 1 Tbsp. butter

Instructions

  • Cook ground chicken (you could also use beef, lamb or turkey). Using ground meat (of high quality, of course- mine is all natural, no antibiotics, hormones, etc.) is a more frugal way to make baby food, as it just doesn't make sense to use more expensive cuts of meat when you are going to blend it up anyways.
  • Chop (into roughly 1 inches pieces): sweet potato, turnip, and parsnip (this could easily be replaced with 2 carrots instead- my son is just sensitive to them, but I bet they would be even nicer). Also chop kale leaf.
  • Add root vegetables to a covered pot, with about 1 scant cup of filtered water, bring to a boil, and simmer for about 10-15 minutes (until soft enough to pierce with a fork). Add kale in the last couple of minutes.
  • Transfer all vegetables, with cooking water, and cooked chicken to your blender. Add 1 Tbsp. butter (organic is preferable). Blend as desired (smoother or chunkier, depending on your baby's eating ability).
