    18 Recipes to Eat With Tomato Soup

    18 Recipes to Eat With Tomato Soup

    Simple yet satisfying, tomato soup is one of the most classic comfort foods around. However, as the existence of the grilled cheese sandwich proves, tomato soup is always better when it's served alongside a contrasting dish or dipping vehicle. The key is to work with foods that will complement tomato soup's trademark acidic and slightly sweet notes. Lighter sides, such as green salads, can hold their own against tomato soup without compromising its flavor. Or, kick the indulgence factor up a notch and opt for heartier foods, such as mozzarella sticks, risotto, potatoes, or even meatloaf. Scroll through for 20 ideas of what to eat with tomato soup, including simple salads, twice-baked potatoes, and, of course, grilled cheese sandwiches.

You can use the meat for tacos, burrito bowls, or as a topping for baked potatoes. So many possibilities! I used this the first night for chicken quesadillas. The second night I used it as a topping for baked potatoes with shredded cheese, pickled jalapenos, and sour cream."

Instant Pot® Barbacoa

<p>"SO good!" raves France C. "I'm definitely going to make this again since everyone LOVED it! First off, I just sauteed everything in the pressure cooker on SAUTE mode, instead of dirtying a separate skillet on the stove. I recommend adding salt to taste, in the finished product, as it was missing a little something. But once it's all put together in a taco, topped with pickled onions, cilantro and some queso fresco, the flavors just compliment each other so well!"</p>
