Serving Suggestions
To create a well-rounded meal, consider pairing your favorite soup recipes with healthy side dish or a variety of toppings. Here are a few suggestions:
Sides:
- Healthy Whole Grain Salads or Sides: Try whole grain salads or sides made with quinoa, farro, rice or your favorite whole grain. A few favorites are Greek Rice Salad, Southwest Quinoa Salad and Farro Salad with Grilled Vegetables and Tahini Dressing.
- Salads and Steamed Vegetables: A fresh, crisp salad with a light vinaigrette dressing is an easy soup pairing. Try Sweet Potato Arugula Salad or Apple Pecan Salad.
- Sandwiches: Nothing beats a good soup and sandwich combo. Try Vegan Hummus Avocado Sandwich or Turkey Cranberry Wrap Sandwich.
- Bread for Dipping: Use a crusty Italian loaf of bread for dipping. Or try a savory quick bread, such as Mushroom Rosemary Olive Oil Bread or Caramelized Onion & Spinach Quick Bread.
Toppings:
- Creamy Yogurt or Sour Cream: Add a dollop of Greek yogurt or sour cream to your soup for a creamy and tangy contrast. It works particularly well with spicy soups or creamed vegetable soups.
- Fresh Herbs and Greens: Garnish your soup with a handful of fresh herbs like cilantro, parsley, or basil. They not only add vibrant color but also a burst of flavor. Or sprinkle some microgreens or baby spinach on top.
- Cheese Toppings: Grated Cheddar or Parmesan cheese or crumbled feta cheese can provide an extra layer of richness and umami flavor.
- Citrus Zest or Slices: A touch of citrus zest (lemon, lime, or orange) can brighten up the flavors of your soup. Alternatively, serve your soup with a slice of citrus on the side for a refreshing squeeze.
- Toasted Nuts or Seeds: Toasted almonds, pine nuts, or pumpkin seeds can add a delightful crunch and nutty flavor to your soup. Sprinkle them on top just before serving.
- Avocado Slices: Creamy avocado slices or chunks can lend a creamy, buttery texture to your soup. This works wonderfully with Mexican-inspired soups like tortilla soup.
- Crispy Bacon or Croutons: For a touch of indulgence, top your soup with crispy bacon bits or homemade croutons. They provide a satisfying crunch and a savory kick
