Flavor Enhancers & Soup Serving Ideas

Below are some great ideas for side dishes, toppings, and more to pair alongside one of these amazing fall soup recipes. From crunchy croutons to rustic bread, and more!

• Toppings: Something simple, like croutons rubbed with garlic and olive oil, adds a lovely crunch to your soup. Other great toppings are gremolata, Parmesan curls, arugula walnut pesto, and pickled peppers.
• Easy side dishes: Try a veggie side Tuscan broccoli or roasted green beans, too. Bread like ciabatta bread and crusty bread are perfect for soaking up broth.
• Side salads: Try a tasty fall-inspired salad as a side dish to create an extra filling meal. Some of my go-tos are this Italian chopped salad, and goat cheese salad.
• Sandwiches: A cup of soup and a sandwich, like an Italian mortadella sandwich or grilled chicken sandwich, works for lunch or dinner.
  

Soup Storage & Meal Prep Tips

• Refrigeration directions: Place any leftover soup into a sealed jar or an airtight container. Depending on the recipe, it usually stays fresh for 3-4 days.
• Help with reheating leftovers: I highly recommend that you reheat leftover soup in a saucepan over low heat. Some of them reheat fine in the microwave, but the creamy soups especially need extra care. Thaw frozen soup in the refrigerator overnight to make it much easier to reheat for lunch or dinner.
• Freeze it in small portions: One of the best tips I can give is to freeze the soup into individual portions for easy access. Then, you can thaw only what you need! I do this often for meal prep.
