Vegetables: Why is it so hard to get your kids to eat their veggies? Because they're healthy! Sneaking vegetables into a meal is easy - especially when vegetables are added to a soup. All meals should feature at least one vegetable recipe in them, as part of a balanced diet. Vegetables can also be served as a side dish. Try the Chicken-Stuffed Peppers - the kids will have fun scooping them out and eating the sweet red veggie.
