How to cook soups for a child

We will tell you how to cook soups for a child – general recommendations.

Food prepared the day before no longer has beneficial properties, so the child needs to be fed with freshly prepared food. The required amount of soup for a baby under 2 years old is 120 ml, for a child 2 – 3 years old – 150 ml, for children over 3 years old – 180 – 200 ml.

You need to feed your child with warm soup, since cold food no longer has useful properties, and hot soup can burn the stomach. Do not use smoked products or semi-finished products.

A one-year-old child needs a lean, better vegetable puree soup, consisting of two ingredients that the child has already consumed. These can be: zucchini, cauliflower, potatoes. Later you can add: greens, carrots, tomatoes. As the child gets older, vegetables can be chopped up and made into vegetable broths. For older children, add up to seven vegetables to the soup. Vegetables should be cooked until soft, salt the ready-made soup.

Meat complementary foods are introduced a couple of months after the baby gets used to digesting meat broth. As a rule, this is a very light “second” broth. Soups based on it are introduced only after the child gets used to the meat puree.

After a year, the child can be given milk soups. First you need to boil pasta or cereals, and then add hot milk half diluted with water. Undiluted milk is added to the soup for children after two years.
