Let’s face it, it’s the sides for soup that steal the show. Whether you’re craving something light and refreshing or hearty and satisfying, the right side can elevate your soup experience to new heights. Nothing beats the comforting warmth of a steaming bowl of soup on a chilly evening. Whether it’s a classic vegatable soup or a Tortilla Soup with Rotisserie Chicken, soup has a way of soothing the soul. But what truly completes a soup experience? The perfect side dish, of course! From German pretzel buns that go great with Sweet Potato Barley Vegetable Soup to a crisp Italian salad, and so much more, this is a round up of the best sides for soup!
Salads make an excellent pairing with soup for a multitude of reasons. Firstly, their crisp, fresh textures provide a refreshing contrast to the warmth and heartiness of soup, creating a balanced and satisfying meal. Additionally, salads offer a variety of flavors, from tangy dressings to crunchy vegetables, which complement the rich flavors of the soup, enhancing the overall dining experience. Together, soup and salad create a dynamic duo that satisfies the palate and nourishes the body.
A colourful Thanksgiving salad of roasted vegetables, mixed bitter and spicy greens, and a hot dressing of procuitto or guinciale with garlic and balsamic. A dusting of Parmesano-Reggiano finishes off this hearty accompanient to your turkey that also happens to be low-carb.
Sandwiches and soups form a culinary match made in heaven, thanks to their harmonious blend of textures, flavors, and comfort. Sandwiches, with their versatility and variety, bring a delightful contrast to the warmth and heartiness of soup. Whether it’s the softness of bread in an egg salad sandwich or the gooey indulgence of melted cheese in a grilled cheese, sandwiches add a satisfying element to every spoonful of soup. Wraps, with their ability to encase a medley of ingredients, offer a lighter yet equally satisfying option. Together, they create a balanced and fulfilling meal, perfect for any occasion, where each component complements and elevates the other.
