Visits to area markets will provide you with more and more crops to choose from to make your little one’s baby food from. One of my son’s favorites was this Creamy Broccoli Soup – it’s packed full of essential nutrients to help your young ones grow strong.
You will be able to find most all ingredients at markets this spring to make this delicious soup, and be sure and freeze the leftovers for future meals.
I plan on demonstrating this baby food recipe at the premier of The Market Lady video series at the Webb City Farmers Market on May 6. We will start shooting farmers market videos soon, so stay tuned to our blog and Facebook page.
