bread for supper???

[plus3]

My DC are refusing to eat their soup, and are only eating the bread!!! I can't just let them have bread for their supper, but they are annoying me with the refusal to even try the soup (they are normally very good!)

What do I do???

It's only really a thick drink, I wouldn't worry. TBH when it comes to an evening meal, bread and soup isn't what springs to mind as filling and nutritious. Are they overweight at all? I found soup a very effective way of losing weight when I was dieting.

Bit of cheese and fruit afterwards and you have a balanced meal?

Not overweight at all - the soup is homemade (pumpkin and tomato) and they ate the fruit and cheese before they sat down (one of those in/out nights for clubs etc...)

I think soup and some nice bread is a good supper when balanced out with stews etc throughout the week

oh YUM! i thought you meant a tin of something ...

they've probably filled up on fruit and cheese.

The soup sounds fab - I'll have it if they don't want it.

i think that sounds like a lovely meal, soup rocks

Aha! Just saw this - the old only-eat-the-bread trick. I melt cheese on toasts, cut them into squares and use them as crutons. They like chucking them into the soup and fishing them out to eat. Is that disgusting? Anyway soup gets eaten.

I can't just let them have bread for their supper

why not? If they've had the fruit and cheese before, the bread now turns it into a ploughman's supper
