General principles for preparing fish soups for children
• The preparation of healthy fish soups for the child should be given special attention. The main product - fish should only be fresh and well cooked. It is better to give preference to sea or large river fish, with a minimum content of small bones. One of the main conditions - it should not be excessively fat. Young children are preferable to prepare dishes from river fish, it is easier to absorb by the body, and this is important.
• It is not necessary to use fresh fish for fish soup. Children from one and a half years old can be prepared from canned food, which should also be chosen very carefully. First of all, it is worth evaluating the shelf life and condition of the can. If she seems even a little suspicious, immediately set aside. It is worth noting that the most delicious soup is obtained from canned fish in oil, and not with its addition.
• If the soup is made from fresh fish, the broth is first boiled from it, which is filtered after readiness. This is done in order to avoid getting small seeds into the finished dish. Canned fish is added to the soup when all the other components are ready. It is pre-broken into pieces, removing the hard spinal bones.
• Spices should not be added to fish soups for children, and if it is necessary to cook the roast, it is better to pass the vegetables in butter.
• When serving, fish soup can be seasoned with sour cream a little, seasoned with finely chopped herbs. This will increase its nutritional value and benefits.
