My 2 tricks for getting the kids to eat their vegetable soup are first, using the vegetables that I know they like or the vegetables that easily break down and turn soft. I also cut the vegetables up into very small pieces or partially blend the soup before adding in the pasta so that most of the vegetables become unrecognizable as such. Second, I use a lot of pasta in fun shapes like mini bow ties, elbows, alphabet shapes or wagon wheels. There are even fun noodles like dinosaurs and princesses!
