What soups can a 15 month old eat? Like is there a specific brand I should stay away from? Should I just say fuck it and make it home made? My little dude is sick and I thought like chicken noodle soup might be good but again I’m not sure if it’s okay to just buy a can or not

I’m lost as to what to do as he’s off most veg apart from corn on cobs and only really eats chorizo, buttered egg noodles and maybe pasta sometimes.
