    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.

Chiles en Nogada (Mexican Stuffed Poblano Peppers in Walnut Sauce)

Southeast of sprawling Mexico City, in the shadow of the active Popocatépetl volcano, is the city of Puebla, the capital of the state of Puebla. This area in central Mexico has a rich and ancient culinary history. Corn (or maize) was first cultivated here thousands of years ago. Amaranth, too, a recently trendy but ancient grain was first domesticated here. And chocolate? Well, the very word comes to us from the Aztecs, chocolatl, whose ancient empire encompassed the current state of Puebla. You'll also find traditions of Spanish and French influence in the cuisine of the area. Puebla, the city, was built on the busy trade route between Mexico City and the port town of Veracruz.  If you're looking to explore some of the best of regional Mexican cuisine, here are some of our favorite authentic recipes from the Puebla region of central Mexico.

"I learned this recipe from an amazing cook from Puebla," says Gema. "I've been perfecting it for over 15 years and realized that it was time to share it when my foodie friends tried to drink the sauce out of the saucepan! I use meat from roasted or baked chickens from the grocery store. I did it once only to save time but found that they are tastier. Be conservative with the cream and the cheese."

View Recipe this link opens in a new tab

This recipe says it's similar to Chipotle's barbacoa. But, of course, the tradition of barbacoa goes back quite a bit further. Puebla lays its claim to the tradition. In this version, beef cooks slowly in broth, cider vinegar, lime juice, chipotle peppers, garlic, cumin, and oregano until perfectly tender.
