Oh Zucchini!

My 7-month-old daughter LOVES zucchini! Especially when it's cooked with Lipton Chicken Noodle Soup (dry soup) packets and onions.

This is a VERY SIMPLE recipe.

Chop zucchini - 4 small, 3 medium, whatever you want.
Chop an onion or two (depends on how much zucchini you have)

Saute these two ingredient in butter or olive oil, with salt and pepper, until mostly or all the way cooked.

Add the dry soup mix (I use about 4-4 zucchini, a couple onions, and then 2 soup mixes) and a little bit of water - just enough to all the noodles to cook, but not so much that you have soup. I added about 1-1/2 -- 2 cups.

Cook the noodles thoroughly, bringing it all to a boil for a few minutes. Let any extra water you don't want evaporate using this method. Then allow it to simmer until it comes to the consistency you want - I like mine kind of thick.

You can leave it on low heat or turn it off with a lid on it to keep it warm until serving time.

Don't forget to stir while you're making this so that everything gets evenly cooked.

Then enjoy!!! :)

***And this is a great way to get kids to eat zucchini because the chicken noodle flavor really takes over - in a good way, of course - and makes kids want more and more and more. :)
