All 6 of my children always wanted to take their lunch to school instead of eating the cafeteria food. Their favorites were homemade soup (in a thermos), a package of peanut butter crackers, fresh vegetables like carrots or celery and a banana or some other fruit. About once a week I would put a piece of cake instead of fruit. Here are some of their favorite homemade soups I made for them. Often I just made soup out of what was leftover in the refrigerator.
