General principles of cooking fish soups for children
• The preparation of healthy fish soups for a child should be given special attention. The main product - the fish should only be fresh and well cooked. Preference is better to give the sea or large river fish, with a minimum content of small bones. One of the main conditions - it should not be excessively oily. Young children are preferable to prepare dishes from river fish, it is easier to digest 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 make it from canned food, which should also be chosen very carefully. The first is to evaluate the shelf life and condition of the banks. If it seems even a little suspicious, immediately set aside. It should be noted 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 initially brewed from it, which is filtered after it is ready. This is done in order to avoid small bones getting into the ready dish. Canned fish is added to the soup, when all other components have already reached the point of readiness. It is first broken into pieces, removing hard spinal bones. • In fish soups for children should not add spices, and if you want to cook the roast, vegetables, best steamed in butter.
• When serving fish soup can be a bit of sour cream, season with finely chopped greens. This will increase its nutritional value and benefits.
