Today I am sharing our family’s favorite easy and kid friendly soup recipes to help make your weekly meal planning “souper” simple. LOL! For real though, soup is the perfect weeknight meal…and the kids love these recipes.
The Best Kid-Friendly Soup Recipes for Weeknight Dinners
Ah…Dinnertime. It happens in my house every evening around 6pm, but the mental preparation starts long before.
I typically do my weekly meal planning and grocery shopping on Sundays so that I already know in advance what I will be making each night for dinner.
The planning usually starts with plugging in a few of my “old faithful” recipes and then filling in with ideas from my Quick & Easy Meals board on Pinterest.
Once the weather starts to get a little cooler, I usually dedicate one night as “Soup Night”. Ha!
The Best Kid Friendly Soup Recipes
Alright mamas, we are gonna kick this quick and kid friendly soup recipe round-up off with a childhood favorite – Chicken Noodle Soup. This has bite size chunks of chicken, no onions (usually a kid friendly no-no) bite-size noodles and tons of flavor.
This recipe will have your kids picking up their bowls and slurping every last drop.
Need something a little more elevated to satisfy the adult appetites in your house? How about pairing it with a Buffalo Chicken Grilled Cheese Sandwich – my hubby’s fave.
We are gonna keep rollin’ right along with the Chicken Noodle Soup theme!
This time we have a gluten free version. This recipes calls for homemade stock, which I love to make from scratch when I have time on the weekends. Homemade bone broth is my specialty when one of the kiddos are sick, but for a quick weeknight dinner just grab a box of stock from your pantry.
I just love the heart shaped carrots too! Check out her tutorial on how to make your own. However, if you are looking to save yourself some time just skip that step and throw in a bag of frozen mirpoix (diced celery, onion and carrot).
I don’t think there is a kid out there who can resist mac-n-cheese. I know that my own kids would eat if every day if I let them. One of my favorite kid friendly soup recipes, this only takes 25 minutes to make and includes some veggies for extra nutrition.
So easy to make and so much better than the canned stuff. Your kids will think you are Chef Boyardee!
