11 Kid-Friendly Soups Your Little Ones Will Actually Want to Eat
As a parent, you want your children to enjoy every part of the school day. From homeroom to dismissal, their body and mind should be in sync.
Unfortunately, we don’t live in a perfect world, and hiccups are bound to happen. That’s why you should ensure the lunch provided to your kids is fresh, healthy, and yummy to their tummy.
Sadly, the quality of some school lunches isn’t what it should be.
Sure, pizza, hamburgers, and hot dogs are okay sometimes. But these shouldn’t be weekly staples. Serving kid-friendly soups, salads, sandwiches, and more is what we do at Lunch Mob.
We bag their lunch for you.
Follow along as we discuss delicious soup options for your little ones.
11 Kid-Friendly Soups for Lunch
Years ago, people associated soups with cold weather and illness. That’s not the case now. People enjoy a savory bowl of chowder for lunch or dinner year-round.
But the palate of an adult is more sophisticated than a child’s. Kids tend to enjoy simple meals that taste good. Thus it can be tricky to get them to try new foods.
If you believe your boy or girl might benefit from dining on a hot serving of brothy goodness, review the kid-friendly options below.
1. Vegetable Noodle Soup
Growing up, most of us ate chicken noodle soup with the onset of a fever or on a snowy day. But soups have come a long way.

If your child likes a little crunch with their meal, they’ll be thrilled to munch on whole-wheat crackers.
