Soups for children from the year.

From the beginning of the year babies can make milk soups and vegetable soups. And up to three years, we only prepare babies for them. Dairy soups for children  from 1 year cook on natural milkhalf diluted with water. And already from two years it is gradually possible not to dilute with water and to cook only with milk. Milk soups for children are boiled with cereals, pasta and vegetables, which are first boiled in water until tender, and then poured with boiling milk. Milk soups are boiled over low heat and often stirred to prevent the soup from burning. Of course, baby milk soups are very nutritious and they are also prepared for older children. Vegetable children's soups are also very useful and are also prepared for children from the year. They are a source of various mineral salts, plant fibers and organic acids. Naturally, children under one and a half years eat vegetable soups mostly in a shabby form, and older children can already chop the vegetables into small soup. Vegetable soups  get ready fast enough. Vegetable soups for children   may consist of two or more components. It is necessary to lay vegetables depending on the time of their preparation. The first to lay the roots, roots, and later cabbage, zucchini, etc. As for any soup: cooked all over low heat to preserve vitamins.

As nutritionists and pediatricians advise in one voice, that soups for children up to three years old on the basis of broth cannot be given.

Of course, someone will argue that from time immemorial grandmothers gave grandchildren rich broths and all is well, all grew up healthy. Just do not forget that the environment is only getting worse, and even science does not stand still. And recently, often careless manufacturers to increase the mass of animals use food stuffed with hormones, antibiotics, and other chemical preparations. These chemical compounds, which are clearly very dangerous to human health and even more so to the health of children when cooking meat, go into broth. For example, the antibiotic tetracycline after 30 minutes of boiling was retained in the muscles of the chicken as traces, and after the same time it completely passed from chicken to broth.

Features cooking soups and soup recipes for children from year to year

In accordance with the physiological characteristics of children, the soup for one-year-old children is a semi-liquid pureed (puree) dish. However, each baby is an individuality, and at the age of one year old children have their own taste preferences, they need to be kept in mind when cooking the first dishes. So, theoretically, a one-year-old baby should prefer wiped soups, but there are children who prefer the first courses, in which the products are cut into small pieces. Therefore, it is impossible to strictly say that, up to 1.5 years, a child should receive only pureed soups, and after 1.5, only soups with chopped components. However, it should be borne in mind that the preference of one or another consistency may be associated with the number of teeth, the development of the masticatory apparatus, the maturity of the nervous system. The volume of the portion for a child, starting from the first year of life, depends on the age and averages 150 g (from 100–120 to 180–200 g).

Useful tips  for cooking soups

Soups work out the better, the less they are brewed. It is best to cook the soup for 6-8 servings at the same time, in a saucepan, corresponding to the size of this volume of soup. Ware for soups is preferable to use ceramic or enameled. The calmer and slower the soup boils (it does not even boil, but languishes on a low fire), the tastier it will turn out. For the preparation of any soup is better to use fresh produce. Careful processing, cleaning, pruning, scraping are necessary to remove all defects before they are prepared. When cutting products, the prescribed form of cutting should be strictly observed - this has big influence  tastes like soup. With large quantities  components in the soup cutting should be larger, and at small - smaller. The laying of products in the soup should be carried out in a certain order so that none of the components of the soup is digested and that the whole soup does not boil for too long. Salt soup should always be at the end of cooking, but not too late, namely at the moment when all the products have already been cooked, but have not yet digested and are able to absorb salt evenly. In an early salted soup, the foods cook longer, and it can turn out to be salty, since the salt will remain in its liquid part. Late-salted soup will turn out salty in its liquid part, and tasteless in thick. It is better to serve the soup fresh, so prepare it preferably daily.

Soups are the main national feature  Russian cuisine. Enter the soup into the diet of the baby, as a rule, start from 6 months, already after the child has tried vegetable puree, compotes and cereals. However, it should be remembered that the soup for a child in one year is significantly different from the soup that father and mother used to eat for lunch.

The first and most important rule of making the first soup for children under one year old: the use of meat and fish broth  excluded, the soup should be cooked in water. The second is that the soup cooked for today's dinner should not be used tomorrow, that is, each time the mother will have to cook one portion of the soup.

Older children (from 8 months) can no longer grind vegetables to the consistency of mashed potatoes, and cut them into small pieces, so your child will learn to chew. Unlike the first soups, these dishes can consist of several components (vegetables), and also include meat, cooked separately, and then crushed in a blender (veal, turkey, chicken).
