20 delicious kid-friendly winter warming soup recipes that kids will actually eat!
Soup might not be something that you would normally associate with kids (and if you do struggle to get your kids to eat soup, then check out my post Change The Way You Serve Food To Picky Eaters for my top tips).
Here are a few great reasons why soup can make a really delicious and nutritious meal for the whole family:
Sneaky Veg!
Sometimes getting your kids to eat enough vegetables can be a real struggle. Soup is a really easy way to include some additional veg into their diet without them even knowing it’s there. Great for picky eaters.
Hydration
Soup always contains a good amount of water so is great for keeping everyone hydrated in the colder months when the desire to drink plenty of water is often less.
Super Nutritious
With vegetables, pulses or meat being the main staples of most soup recipes, it’s an easy way of ensuring your family get plenty of vitamins, minerals, fibre and protein in their diet in one easy bowl!
Economical
Depending on the ingredients you choose, homemade soup can be a really cheap but satisfying meal to feed whole family without compromising on taste!
Great comfort food for those sick days!
Not only a great way to get plenty of nutrients and water into the “patient” when they are feeling poorly, soup is easy on those sore throats and congested noses!
