Kid-Friendly Chicken Soup

Comforting kid-friendly chicken soup with chunky vegetables, sausages, and gluten-free pasta shapes. Simple, comforting, and delicious.

Soup can be tricky to make for kids because some kids don’t like soup and vegetables. The trick is to let the kids choose their favorite pasta shapes for some fun. Another trick is to cut the veggies in bite-size pieces so it will be easier for kids to eat it.

This soup recipe is versatile. You can swap out the veggies with your favorite one, and finish the soup with all types of pasta.

Pasta shape

You can use any kind of pasta for this soup, but I recommended small and cute pasta shapes like Orgran Animals Rice & Corn Vegetable Pasta, alphabet pasta, or stelline (star shape pasta). But if you can’t find any cute shape pasta farfalle or tricolor fusilli also work.
