Soup is my favorite thing to eat this time of year, but it’s not always enough to make a complete meal. Pairing it with a sandwich is a great option, but sometimes I want my soup recipe to be the star of the hour. That’s where these 42 sides for soup come into play.
As for what to serve with soup, your side dish of choice is going to depend on the type of soup you’re making. If you have a relatively smooth soup, like creamy tomato soup, you might want garlic bread or a soft milk bread bun for dunking. If your soup calling leads you to a turkey-noodle number, then maybe you want to take it easy with sautéed kale or roasted broccoli. The choice is yours, dear friend.
