Even though soup can technically be seen as its own side dish, once you’re eating it, it can feel like a world on its own. And when you’re exploring the delicious tastes of a steamy hot soup, sometimes the only thing that can make it better is a side dish to bring it home. So here are some simple side dishes that’ll elevate your soup to the next level.
Garlic Bread
This one may seem obvious, but it’s so perfect that we had to put it here. Of course, it should be noted that while garlic bread is a great side dish for most soups, it works best with French onion soup. However, a tomato soup collaboration also goes a long way too.
Roasted Butternut Squash
If you’re not in the mood to cook up a massive meal, a quick roasting of butternut squash next to some soup will fill your whole family right up in a jiffy. Toss in a little seasoning and dice them up, and you’ve got yourself a well-balanced meal.
Spaghetti Cacio e Pepe
A spaghetti dish might seem like a main course, but it’s precisely that reason that we feel it often gets neglected as a side dish. When treated as a side dish, spaghetti can be a truly heavenly complement to many dishes. If you’re having Italian soup, a small dose of Cacio e Pepe will only impress your guests.
