    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.

Corn Flake-Crusted Halibut

Want to add crispy crunch to whatever you're cooking? A box of cornflakes breakfast cereal is the answer.

The light, crispy, sweet flakes are a home cook's secret ingredient, and work in both sweet and savory recipes. No need to fry when you can bread your chicken or fish with these delicately sweet crunchy flakes and oven-bake instead.

In cookies, they stay crisp even when baked; and they are also the key ingredients in easy-to-make candy clusters and a Tin Roof sundae. The crushed golden flakes are so popular as a substitute for breadcrumb coatings they are even sold crumbled. (But you can easily crush them in a plastic bag with a rolling pin.) Scroll through for 22 ways to cook with cornflakes.

Cheesy Cauliflower Casserole

<p>"My boyfriend doesn't like cauliflower, but he said he'd eat it if I put cheese on it," says community member ilkaisha. "I followed this recipe exactly, and it was absolutely delicious. I felt really skeptical for a moment before I tossed the cauliflower in with the other ingredients -- I felt that it would be too little to coat everything. However, it was the perfect amount. Each bite was cheesy and delicious. As for the corn flakes, I figured that I would crush them in a plastic baggie. Little did I know in advance that a snack-sized bag filled with corn flakes crunches down to exactly half a cup! Now you do, and you can save yourself a bit of time measuring! :)"</p>
