From childhood we were taught that there must be a "first" for dinner - soup, borsch, rassolnik and so on. But recently more and more conflicting opinions have appeared on this issue. Some pediatricians strongly believe that soup should be in the child's diet every day, others do not see a problem in that the child refuses the first dish. In any case, the decision on what to feed the children, take only parents.
What is useful soup for children?
The main advantage of soups is that the meat, fish or vegetable broth on which it is cooked contains active substances that cause appetite and, as a result, promote better digestion and assimilation of food. Less aggressive are children's soups-mashed potatoes - they do not cause secretion and thus do not irritate the mucous membrane of the stomach and intestines due to its delicate creamy consistency. In addition, they do not need to be chewed, so properly cooked soup-purée is suitable even for babies.
