In general, potato soups are already filling by themselves. Its creaminess and comforting taste make it everyone’s favorite comfort soup. But if you are tired of the same old plain potato soup, then it would be best to partner it with some delicious sides. It could be bread, salad, corn, some beans, and more!
And if you are looking for more recipes, I have here 31 delicious side dishes to serve with potato soup!
31. Serve With Potato Soup Classic Grilled Cheese Sandwich!
No matter the time or how many candles are on your birthday cake, the allure of a grilled cheese sandwich remains unparalleled. This version respects the original, guiding you to perfect it rather than overhaul it. Just be sure to keep in mind these key pointers:
Instead of buttering the bread, butter the skillet. To achieve that perfect golden hue without the risk of burning, slather the outside of your sandwich with mayo. Mayo can handle heat better due to its higher resistance to burning, thanks to the combined properties of oil and egg yolk. The magic unfolds when bread coated in mayo meets a buttery skillet. Your cheese selection matters: Choose one that oozes seamlessly when heated. While American cheese is renowned for its meltability, a young cheddar offers a richer taste. If you’re venturing out, opt for soft or semi-soft cheeses; their moisture-rich nature ensures a delightfully gooey outcome. Once your sandwich graces the skillet, a gentle press with a spatula can aid even browning and help the bread and cheese fuse together. Yet, remember it’s a grilled cheese, not a squashed cheese. Slice your masterpiece diagonally. Trust us, it enhances the taste. While serving, consider pairing it with tomato soup. It’s a suggestion, not a must, but highly recommended.
Craving a twist on the classic grilled cheese? We’ve got you covered, from versions spiced up with mustard and pickled jalapeños to those that mimic the flavors of cheesy garlic bread and beyond.
30. Arugula Salad
Arugula Delight Salad – This salad features a delightful mix of spicy arugula, tangy parmesan, intensified dried cranberries, and crunchy almonds. It’s complemented with a zesty, mildly sweet dressing that ties it all together.
While arugula might not be your go-to salad base, don’t underestimate these overlooked greens. They are nutrient-packed leaves with a bold taste, perfect for a standout salad.
Keep this recipe handy for those moments when you need a swift side dish, especially during festive seasons when the usual greens are in short supply.
This recipe is adaptable, letting you mix and match based on what’s in your pantry. It’s flexible, welcoming various twists and turns.
For example, I’ve experimented with both lemon juice and balsamic vinegar, enjoying each version. So, it’s up to you to choose what suits your palate.
Thinking of replacements? Sweet dried cherries can sub in for the cranberries, while pecans can replace almonds. And if you’re feeling adventurous, swap out the parmesan for some feta.
29. Ultimate Roast Beef Sandwich
When preparing this sandwich in advance, store the crispy onions (and yes, we have a soft spot for those canned ones, famously used as green bean casserole toppings) separately in a sealed container. Add them to your sandwich right before you dig in, ensuring they retain their crispiness.
28. Ham Sandwich
Another delightful pairing with potato soup is the classic duo of ham and cheese in a sandwich. Whether you lean towards a more honeyed or robust ham, it’s a hit! Plus, the touch of cheese elevates the dish with a richer depth of taste.
27. Chicken Legs
Beyond beef and pork, chicken is another fantastic companion to potatoes. This is why barbecued chicken drumsticks coupled with potato soup is an impressive combination.
Boost the flavor profile by dusting your poultry with a pinch of cayenne or red chili flakes. The natural starchiness of potatoes beautifully offsets the heat from the chicken, producing an exquisite harmony of flavors.
26. Garlic Bread
The pairing of a crispy herb-infused bread drenched in butter and plunged into a dense potato soup is purely irresistible.
While the neighborhood bakery might boast an impeccable bread selection, crafting it at home is equally rewarding. Opt for slices of ciabatta or rustic bread, pan-sear them in butter until they achieve a golden hue, and sprinkle with some garlic essence for the final touch.
25. Dinner Rolls
Soft bread buns are a timeless choice! Their spongy texture beautifully soaks up the creaminess of the soup. Enhance their delectable nature by smearing them generously with butter, elevating their rich taste.
24. German Pretzels
Traditional pretzel rods, with their gentle saltiness and tender chew, make an exceptional partner to potato soup. The combination of their savory crunch with the creaminess of the soup is unparalleled.
23. Biscuits
Concluding our list of ideal bread pairings are these delicate and layered scones. Mirroring the heartwarming essence of potato soup, these are comforting bites that always hit the right spot, especially when dipped in a velvety soup blend.
22. Spinach Salad with Hot Bacon Dressing
Beyond proteins and breads, refreshing salads form a delightful juxtaposition to creamy potato soups. Their crunchy and cool nature contrasts beautifully with the warmth of the soup.
Among numerous salad choices, one that truly stands out is a fresh green salad crowned with a warm bacon dressing. This combination might be a personal favorite, but can you blame me?
For this delightful dressing, fry some onions in bacon oil, blend in brown sugar, vinegar, and seasonings. To thicken, stir in a cornstarch slurry. Drape this sauce over fresh greens, give it a good mix, and finish with crispy bacon crumbs. Truly mesmerizing!
21. BLT Chopped Salad
Another impeccable salad choice to accompany potato soup is a tomato-bacon crunch salad. Packed with juicy tomatoes, crunchy lettuce, and, of course, the smokiness of bacon – it’s a crowd-pleaser.
For the dressing, you have the freedom to choose between a sharp vinaigrette or a velvety ranch. Both complement the salad ingredients in their own unique ways. The choice is yours!
20. Strawberry Spinach Salad
Here’s an enticing salad idea to complement your potato soup: a blend of strawberries and fresh greens.
Visualize the beautiful color and delightful aroma of this side dish! Its invigorating nature offers a pleasant counterbalance to the richness of the soup.
To prepare, combine fresh greens with strawberry wedges and drench in a zesty vinaigrette. Introduce some roasted nuts for that added crunch.
19. Brussels Sprouts Salad
Ever considered sprout leaves in your salad? Absolutely! They bring a delightful crispness, nutty undertones, and a buttery essence, perfect alongside a creamy potato soup.
Mix charred sprout leaves with radicchio and jewel-like pomegranate seeds. Drizzle your choice of velvety dressing and you’re good to go!
18. Pomegranate Wild Rice Salad
This unique rice salad strikes a balance between light and wholesome. The interplay of creamy goat cheese, pomegranate seeds, almonds, and exotic rice offers a mosaic of flavors and textures. It’s the ideal partner for a hearty soup.
To top it off, whisk together a lemon-infused honey dressing. This is the cherry on top for your dining experience.
17. Mashed Potato Puffs
While it might sound repetitive, indulging in potatoes in different forms is always a treat.
Got some extra mashed potatoes? Great! Transform them into these fluffy delights:
Lightly oil a muffin tray. Blend mashed potatoes, eggs, cheese, herbs, and bacon bits. Season as per your preference.
Scoop this blend into muffin molds and sprinkle with grated cheese. Roast for 20 minutes at 400 degrees Fahrenheit. Enjoy them plain or with a dollop of creamy goodness.
16. Sauteed Kale
