Mushroom & Tarragon Soup
This is such an amazing flavour combo, and really shows off the benefits of making soup at home. What's more, this can be a fun one to get kids involved with the prep work- they can tear up the mushrooms with their hands, which can help get comfortable with the veggie even if they are not brave enough to try it just yet.

Additional Information
You can get your kids involved in making this by tearing mushrooms with their hands and using the stick blender- just be careful with any hot liquid spray if you do allow them to blend it by allowing the soup to cool before you let them do this.
