First course for kids. What kind of soup to cook for a child?

When the child grows up, he already gets all kinds of products that are eating adults. And yet food for the baby is different from what we can afford - adults. At this time we will introduce you to the first courses, which can and should prepare children over the year.

Despite the variety of starters and very significant differences in their composition, all kinds of soups and have some common properties. Among them, first and foremost, the ability to stimulate the secretion of digestive juices needed for digestion dishes. That is why the soup and used as a primary food in the afternoon. Another feature of soups is their ability to serve as a source of energy and nutrients needed child (as, indeed, any other food). In this regard, soups are very different:

* Borscht, vegetable soups are an important source of mineral salts, organic acids, plant fibers;
* Cereal soups, soups from pasta delivered into the body vegetable protein, starch, some vitamins and mineral salts.

What recommendations should be followed in order to start dinner crumbs was tasty, and useful? Not desirable for children to cook broth. During prolonged cooking of meat digest all harmful (extractable) material - so are those organic substances that previously could not be identified (separated) in the broth. They formed a group of substances derived from extracts of animal and plant tissues. Thanks to advances in the field of physical and chemical analysis in the last half-century of extractives to allocate a number of organic compounds in pure form and to establish their chemical nature. These include urea, creatine, tyrosine, leucine, xanthine, taurine, hippuric acid, cholesterol, lecithin, and many others. However, since there remains unexplored extractives, the action of the body, including the body of the child, it is unknown precisely because of these unstudied substances kids are not encouraged to give concen-centered broth. Known as extractives can have on the human body, including child-sided action - some of which stimulate gastric secretion, and therefore contribute to increased appetite, but excessive stimulation of gastric secretion is a predisposing factor for the development of gastritis. Therefore, when planning the menu for a baby, this factor can be used as follows. When the kid - maloezhka, eats extremely reluctant, you need several times a week to offer him as a first course soup on the first meat broth. That is, first you pour off after 30 minutes of cooking meat, meat fill up with clean, hot water and cook until done. All the recipes below, we have in mind is the second broth. If a child has predisposition to diseases of the gastrointestinal tract (parents have gastritis or an ulcer, the baby already has any problems with the organs of the gastrointestinal tract), the soups to meat broth is better to limit. By the extractives are also purine bases, which hindered the work of the liver. In addition, on farms and poultry farms in the feed to weight gain and protection from disease are added to various harmful to humans chemicals and antibiotics, which may also fall into the broth. In accordance with the physiological characteristics of children's soup for one year old baby is a semi-liquid rubbed (puree) dish. But every kid - this individuality, and as early as age children have their own taste preferences, they should be kept in mind when preparing soups. So, theoretically-year-old child should be given preference grated soups, but there are children who are more like the first dish in which the products are cut into small pieces. Therefore we can not strictly say that up to 1,5 years old child should get only pureed soups, and after 1,5 - only soups with chopped ingredients. However, it should be borne in mind that the preference for a particular texture may be related to the number of teeth, the development of the masticatory apparatus, the nervous system maturity. Serving Size for the baby from the first year of life, depends on the age and is, on average, 150 g (from 100-120 to 180-200 g).

Useful tips for soups
Soups succeed better than a smaller number of them boil. The best way to cook the soup for 6-8 servings at a time, in a saucepan, corresponding to the size of this volume of soup. Dishes for soups is preferable to use ceramic or enamel. What is calmer and slower boiling soup (do not boil, but yearns to low heat), so it will taste better. To make any soup is better to use fresh products. Needed careful handling, cleaning, cutting, scraping, to remove all defects before they are cooked. When cutting products should be strictly adhered to the recipe provided a form of cutting - it has a great influence on the taste of soup. With a large number of components in the soup thread should be larger, but for a small - smaller. Bookmark products in the soup should be done in a certain order so that none of the components of the soup is not digested and that the whole soup is not boiling too long. To salt the soup must always be at the end of cooking, but not too late, and at precisely the moment when all products have already been boiled, but not yet able to digest and absorb the salt evenly. In the early salted soup food cooked longer, and it can get salted as salt will remain in the liquid part of it. Late in the salted soup and get salty in the liquid part of it, and tasteless in the thick. The best soup to be served fresh, so prepare for it, preferably daily.
