We use big Asian soup spoons for soup! They might be too big for the twins right now but they work well for my 22 month old.

My LO eats a lot of soup at daycare, and at home - - but (at least in our case) it’s kind of misleading to call it true soup, as it’s soup with most of the liquid taken out so it’s easier for them to eat.

Also, you might need to look around for different spoons. Some baby spoons are so dang tiny they seem more suited for dollhouses than real babies/toddlers! We were able to find some wider and flatter spoons that are easier to eat soup with. My mom gave me some vintage tea spoons she found that are like the PERFECT size for little hands - I guess people were smaller back then!

@Jess1483: my 4 and 6 yr old wont eat soup with a spoon! They use forks and eat the noodles or other solids only

Yea, our daycare feeds the kids a lot of soup. I am so confused by it every time I see it on the report. Black magic. I'm telling you.

My child is obsessed with soup. Obsessed. I do a few things:

Feed her soup wit a big spoon- the whole spoon doesn't have to fit, just enough so you can tilt the broth into her mouth.

Use a baby spoon to give her the "guts" of the soup with a bit of broth-pieces of veggies, chicken, meatballs, etc.

Give her the innards on her tray to eat by herself-this works best to give her noodles.

For puréed soups, we also got the Twist Kiinde disposable pouches, but they don't work very well with straight broth. (I learned this the hard way ) https://www.kiinde.com/foodii_starter_kit_product.php

I've started working on getting her to drink the broth with help. We have this set that we use for her food: http://shop.greentoys.com/p/green-toys-dish-set?pp=20 , and the tea cups hold a good amount of liquid for practicing. The spoons are also a little wider, so you can get more on there.

That was probably way more detail than you bargained for I hope you find something that works. Soup is a God-send around here. She will literally eat anything if I put it in broth. Girl after my own heart!

I use soup as a quick meal and o drain the broth so she gets the veggies, noodles and chicken, etc. Prob not the best, but it beats easy mac (at least on my guilt-meter!)

My daycare fed soup, but it was the Earth's Best stage 3 soup, which is thick and not watery like soup at all.

If the soup if pureed, LO eats the soup with a straw. Otherwise she either does a straw/spoon/fork combo, or uses a spoon. I just give her our regular adult sized spoons and she goes to town. It's really messy though.

In the target 1-3 dollar aisle I found a bowl with a straw attached to it. Genius! So DD (at 2.5) can use a spoon to scoop up the chunky parts of her soup like meatballs, veggies and noodles but then drink up the broth.

@twodoghouse: I didn't even know anyone tried to feed their babies soup! My 18 month old definitely would just dump it on the floor.

But I do give her the "guts" of soup a lot. This week I made turkey sausage, white bean and kale soup, so when my husband and I had that, I just drained it with a slotted spoon and gave her the soup without the broth to eat with a fork.

Because so many soups contain egg noodles, we haven't even attempted and he's 2.5 (and allergic to eggs).

My DD loves soup always has, I put some in a bowl with very little liquid, and it's a mess but she enjoys getting the noodles/veggies/ect. out with a spoon.
