The best-ever soup-and-side combos
We’ll admit it’s pretty hard to beat a slice of fresh bread with butter on the side of a steaming bowl of soup, but it’s time to shake up the tried-and-tested combination. We’ve put together a collection of hearty soups that just happen to have some serious sides. They might not all be sandwiches, but we can guarantee they’re all delicious and deserving of a spot next to your soup.
Cauliflower, leek and almond brown-butter soup with potato puffs
Potato- and cheese-topped puff pastry might sound extremely rich, but it works perfectly with this light veggie broth.

Smoky corn soup with cheesy egg toast
This side gives a whole new meaning to eggs on toast for dinner. Silky corn soup aside, we’d be happy with the cheesy, eggy toast all on its own – but we strongly recommend you make the soup, too.

Potato bread, tomato soup and roasted raclette
Tomato soup and grilled cheese might be the OG soup-and-sandwich combination, but this updated version is just as good (if not better). Probably because there’s an whole block of gooey raclette served here.

Butternut-and-chicken soup with prawn toast
Prawn toast might not be the first thing that comes to mind when making a midweek soup for dinner, but it’s easier than you think. This is also a great way of jazzing up store-bought butternut soup.

French-esque onion soup
Why serve your toast on the side of your soup when you can serve it in the soup instead? This French-inspired onion soup might not be traditional, but it’s perfect for a mid-winter cooking project.

Cauliflower soup with cheesy garlic bread
Ready-made products such as garlic bread and cheese sauce shine in this recipe. They deliver on flavour in half the time – a double win.

Creamy haddock chowder with French toast
Just when you thought haddock chowder couldn’t get any better, Abi goes and serves French toast on the side.

Curried lentil-and-roast sweet potato soup with paneer naan
Buttery naan will always have a place in our soup-loving hearts, but this paneer-topped version is the quick update we didn’t know we needed.

Hi, my name is Elize.
Please can anyone send me a creamy plain butternut/pumpkin soup recipe with cream?
I can’t seem to find a plain one here.
Thank you so much.
