Not sure if this is the right place to post, but...

I am making a roasted butternut squash soup tonight - will be the DD's main dinner and DH and my starter before our takeaway when they have gone to bed.

DD2 is 8 months old... I don't have any baby stock cubes, or low salt stock (and it is snowing and horrible out, so not planning on heading to the shops). I have those Knorr capsules of jellied stock, that you make up with 500ml of boiling water.

So - can I use one of those jellies if I, say, make it half strength, so a litre of water, or is it still too salty? Should I just use hot water, or will that make it too bland for everyone else? Anything else I could do to make it tastier without making it saltier?

it will be fine. you can always put more salt/stock in when you have taken baby's portion out.
