As any mother would know, getting your kid to gulp down healthy soups can be a herculean task. But that’s only if you make the mistake of putting your kid in the same box as adults. Making a little bit of a special effort is all that it takes to make your child fall in love with soups. Considering how healthy and easy it is to make soups are, it really is worth the effort, if this simple dish makes it to your child’s list of favorites. Here are a few easy-to-cook soup suggestions that your little one is sure to love-
- Chicken soup- You can add a twist to regular chicken soup by throwing in some noodles into the pan. This slurpy delicacy goes perfectly well with the savory taste of chicken soup, and is sure to tempt your child to have it all. You can also add finely chopped veggies like celery, carrots, zucchini, onions, and red peppers to enhance the nutritional value of the soup.
- Tomato soup- Tomato soup, if well-made, is a favorite among kids across the globe. The key factor to pay heed to here is the texture and consistency. Adding some cream to the soup can help in making it rich and thick, which is something that kids love. Special seasonings like Worcestershire sauce, basil and pepper can add that tangy zing to the soup. Crackers, grilled cheese, and fried bread make for some great accompaniments.
- Vegetable soup- Vegetable soup is one of the healthiest meals that you can serve on your child’s platter. Unfortunately though, most kids aren’t very fond of steamed veggies floating in a milky broth. To make sure that doesn’t happen, just blend all the veggies after steaming them. Add a cup of milk and some seasonings to the mix and voila you have a soup that kids are sure to love. You can further add to the kid’s appeal of your soup by floating some funny shaped crackers in the soup.
- Carrot ginger soup- Anything that’s colored is sure to catch your child’s fancy. Carrot ginger soup is a great way to tap on this weakness of your little ones. Not only is this soup incredibly healthy, but it’s got the perfect balance of sweet and sour to tempt your child’s palette. Chives and Parsley make for great garnishes with this soup. You can cook it in chicken broth to further up its nutritional value.
