Veggies can be hard to incorporate into your kids' diet - who am I kidding? They are hard to incorporate in my own diet. Mike is more of a Meat-and-Potatoes kind of guy, and I'm a Pasta-for-Every-Meal kind of gal, so we are often finding ourselves vegetable starved. Vegetable soup can be a hard sell on kids. Soups become more appealing to kids when they're paired with something like grilled cheese, or... pizza. 2 tablespoons of olive oil 3 cloves of garlic 1/4 cup of onion, diced 3 carrots, sliced 1 1/2 - 2 cups of green beans, 1-inch dice Begin by sauteing garlic in olive oil for 30 seconds on medium heat.
