What soups are suitable for children?

Children are in the stage of growing up, so it is imperative for parents to provide their children with proper nutrition. Otherwise, once the baby's physical development is hindered, not only will the baby be shorter in stature, but more importantly, his physical condition will become poorer, which will have a very bad impact on the child's future study and work. If you want to supplement your child's nutrition, drinking soup is also a good choice. So, what are some good soups for kids?
