When shopping, let your children choose vegetables that look appealing to them; this increases their natural curiosity and willingness to taste. Then take home your market vegetables and create a warm and comforting soup. Allow kids to help you cut them up or, if they’re too young for that, simply put them into the pot. Add cooked alphabet noodles for extra fun, or serve with garlic bread for dipping.
