Milk soup recipes for children
Milk soup is a dish that comes from childhood, which was carefully prepared for us by our grandmothers and mothers. And it is also a proven way to attract little whims to products that are not too attractive for them. Today we are studying recipes for milk soups for children.
Dairy subtleties
But first, let’s figure out how to make milk soup for a child so that he eats it without much persuasion. As a base, you can use not only whole milk, but also dry, and even condensed milk. Regular milk is added during the cooking process. Dry is diluted in a small amount of water to the consistency of sour cream, and then topped with water. Ideally, take a liter of water for 50 g of powdered milk. Condensed milk is also diluted in the proportion of 2 tbsp. l. per 1 cup of water, after which it is brought to a boil. Supplement milk soups with vegetables, cereals or flour products. If the soup is made with milk without adding water, they should be boiled separately until half-cooked and only then sent to the soup. For the preparation of milk soups, it is better to use a saucepan with a thick bottom. First, it should be rinsed with cold water, so that the soup does not burn. Cook it over low heat, and before serving, flavored with butter.
Macaroni sweetness
Perhaps the most popular recipe is milk soup with vermicelli or pasta. First of all, boil 500 ml of water, add salt and add 5-6 tbsp. l. of spider-web vermicelli or any other pasta. We cook it for 7-8 minutes, then we throw it into a colander and leave it to drain. Meanwhile, 1.5 liters of milk are brought to a boil, salt to taste and put the boiled vermicelli in it. We keep it on low heat for 3-5 minutes and remove it from the stove. The finished soup is filled with 30 g of butter and sugar. To make a recipe for vermicelli milk soup to please a little gourmet for sure, add jam or fresh berries to it.
Two in one
Especially useful for a growing body are cereal soups. In this respect, the recipe for milk soup with buckwheat has no equal. To begin with, we boil buckwheat in salted water at the rate of ¾ cup of cereals per 700 ml of water. Then we drain the excess liquid and pour 1.5 liters of warmed milk into a pot of porridge. Cook the soup over low heat for 15-20 minutes, put the butter and serve. Instead of buckwheat, you can take pearl barley, corn, barley or semolina. In the last two cases, first sift the grits, bring the milk diluted with water to a boil and pour it in a thin trickle. At the same time, cook the soup over low heat, stirring continuously, for 15-20 minutes.
Milky Potato
No less delicious and nutritious is the recipe for milk soup with potatoes. For its preparation, 3-4 peeled tubers are soaked in cold water for 20 minutes, then dried and rubbed on a coarse grater. Fill the potato mass with water, bring to a boil and cook until half cooked. Then pour 500 ml of warmed milk into a saucepan with potatoes and stand on low heat for 10-15 minutes from the moment of boiling, then salt to taste, add a piece of butter or 2-3 tbsp.l. cream. Before serving, the soup can be sprinkled with grated cheese and crispy homemade crackers — so it will turn out more appetizing.
Surprise inside
You can slightly complicate the recipe of the dish and add dumplings. How to cook milk soup for a child in this case? We start with the preparation of the base for dumplings. To do this, boil ½ cup of water, add 1 tablespoon of butter and a pinch of salt. Pour here 1 tbsp. l. semolina and, stirring constantly, cook like a normal porridge. Then cool it, add the beaten egg, ½ tbsp flour, a pinch of salt and mix thoroughly. In a separate saucepan, combine a glass of milk, ½ cup of water, 1 tsp sugar, bring the mixture to a boil and salt to taste. Next, alternately put here 1 tsp. semolina mass and make sure that the dumplings do not stick together. Continue to cook until all the dumplings float to the surface. At the end, as usual, we flavor the soup with butter.
Lunch for the baby
The menu for the youngest gourmets, who are barely a year old, requires a special approach. Milk soups can be included in it without any fear. Moreover, milk soup for a one-year-old child is made simply and quickly. A win-win solution will be a tender vegetable soup. To start, cut into thin slices of medium potatoes, 15 g of fresh carrots and 15 g of pumpkin pulp. Carrots pour 2 tbsp. l. water, put 1 tsp. butter and simmer until it softens. Add the chopped pumpkin and potatoes, as well as 8-10 inflorescences of cauliflower or broccoli. Fill the vegetables with 100 ml of water, cover with a lid and cook for 20 minutes on low heat.
