Re: home made soups
Kids usually enjoy chicken noodle soup and tomato soup. I've seen students of various ages bring soup for lunch.
Cream of roasted red pepper soup is like tomato soup
If your children like Chinese food, you can even give them chicken corn soup or hot and sour soup.......or vegetable soup with chinese seasoning to it.
There is also daal soup, which I've heard is good, but I've never tired it.
*** Check the sodium content if you buy commercial soup. And be careful with some "vegetarian" soups because their broth is not halal. For example...."French Onion soup".....sounds halal but it's typically made from beef broth. So, check the ingredients before buying.
As mentioned above, I think that homemade soups are a healthier choice than the commercial variety. Because YOU get to control what goes into it and how much of what goes into it. :)
