Healthy Soups Kids Will Love
It’s getting cold out there! It’s time for sweaters, blankets, and warm, hearty soups. These healthy, delicious meals can be made in big batches and frozen for quick and easy weekday dinners and weekend lunches.
Soups are great kid-friendly, single-dish meals. Pack them full of nutrition with veggies, beans, lean proteins, and whole grains. You can jazz up classics or try something brand new!
Smooth Blended Soups

Dipping for the Win
What goes great with soup? Anything you can dip in it. Toast, bread sticks, sliced grilled cheese sandwiches, tortilla chips, and crackers are all good choices. Dipping might be a little messy, but it’s fun and a great way to add some whole grains to the meal.
If you’d rather drop than dip, choose croutons or oyster crackers.
