Soup is a terrific meal for toddlers who are picky eaters.
Smooth soups or broths are the best starter soups, because their textures are easily managed in the mouth. Soup also offers a great opportunity to develop “spoon” skills. For those less patient or more hungry, serve soup in a cup and sip away. Never serve soup hot, always room temperature or slightly warm.
