What soup is suitable for pregnancy?

Bone soup and crucian carp soup are the best foods to drink when you are just pregnant. These soups contain relatively high levels of protein and calcium, which are very helpful for the bone development of the fetus. There will be morning sickness in the early stages of pregnancy. You should eat a light diet, drink chicken soup (try not to make it too greasy), and eat more vegetables. Now let us understand what kind of soup is suitable to drink when you are just pregnant to help the development of the fetus.

Early pregnancy (first week to thirteenth week of pregnancy) - chicken soup

Expectant mothers are prone to nausea and morning sickness when they are just pregnant. Chicken soup is relatively light, which can not only provide rich protein and vitamin nutrition for expectant mothers, but also can improve appetite and enhance immunity, so I highly recommend it!

Chicken Soup

Prepare ingredients: chicken, wolfberry, Codonopsis pilosula, angelica, red dates, ginger slices, green onions, and cooking wine.

Steps: First boil the chicken in clean water and then take it out; then put the prepared wolfberry, codonopsis, angelica, red dates, etc. into the pot and cook together with the chicken, then add cooking wine and salt, bring to a boil over high heat, then switch to medium heat and cook for 5 minutes, then cook over low heat for 10 minutes, finally add onions and serve.

Second trimester (13th to 28th week of pregnancy) – Pork rib soup

This period is an important stage of fetal growth. Expectant mothers will find that the weight of the fetus shows a rapid growth curve, so during this period, the intake of protein should be strengthened. In addition, the intake of various vitamins and trace elements should also keep up. In addition to chicken soup, you can also eat more offal soup and pork rib soup, which can be cooked with corn and kelp. It is more nutritious and tastes more delicious.

Pork Rib Soup

Prepare ingredients: corn, ribs, onions, ginger, and salt.

Steps: Put the cleaned ribs into a clean pot, add appropriate amount of water, boil the water, then take out the ribs; then put the ribs into the wok and stir-fry, then add corn, ginger slices, and green onions, boil for about 40 minutes, and finally add salt.

Late pregnancy (28th week of pregnancy to delivery) - fish soup

When expectant mothers reach the third trimester, it is the sprint period of fetal growth. Drinking fish soup during this period is not only helpful for the fetal brain development, but adding some mushrooms to the fish soup can also improve the problem of urinary problems.

Fish Soup

Prepare ingredients: crucian carp, ginger, garlic, green onion, oil, and salt.

Steps: First wash the fish and fry it in a pan with oil. After the fish changes color, add water, ginger and garlic and cook over high heat for 20 minutes. Then add salt and simmer for 2 minutes. Finally, add some chopped green onions and serve.
