    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.

March is a unique month on the calendar. It's not quite winter and not yet spring in most places. But whispers of both seasons fill the day's temperatures and weekly weather patterns — and that makes the selection at grocery stores and farmers' markets equally mixed. We put together 31 quick and easy dinners for March so you'll have plenty of inspiration for the month of meals. Plus, they're all ready in about 40 minutes or less.

To Die For Fettuccine Alfredo

View Recipe this link opens in a new tab

With just one bite of this creamy fettuccine recipe, you're going to know how it got its name. This recipe streamlines the Alfredo sauce-making process with just cheeses, butter, and cream; you won't use flour to thicken the sauce, which is a common step in many other Alfredo sauces. But Allrecipes cook Robyn D. says if you "sift a little bit of cornstarch into your [grated] cheese," the dish will be "nice and creamy."

Chicken marsala is a favorite Italian-American dish that's popular in restaurants. If you want to dine at home instead, you can still enjoy all the delicious flavor of this recipe in a version that's ready in just 20 minutes. "This recipe was the most flavorful Chicken marsala I have made in a long time. It was so simple without having to dredge the chicken in flour but still able to [acquire] the taste I wanted," writes reviewer Susan Leary.

A perfectly cooked salmon fillet needs little in the way of seasoning or marinade to make it shine. Here, this salmon recipe is cooked with just a bit of lemon and butter, as well as a sprinkle of basil and garlic powder. To finish it off, you need only serve a light and fresh salad or any other seasonal vegetable you have on hand.

Few foods get the title "world's best," but few recipes deserve it as much as this one, according to Allrecipes cooks, who've given this recipe from contributor John Chandler more than 350 5-star ratings. One thing reviewers would suggest? Cook it in the oven to keep your hands-on time low. Oh, and make more sauce: "BEST ever! The only thing I would have changed is that I would [have] marinated them in the sauce prior and made extra for dipping...because it was THAT good!" writes reviewer littlejediprincess.

Keep dinner light with these lettuce wraps. The ground chicken filling is seasoned with garlic, Thai chiles, soy sauce, fish sauce, and of course basil. That's big, bold flavor for mild ground chicken, but the flavors are beautifully balanced with the fresh, crisp snap of lettuce leaves. Serve with a marinated cucumber salad or side of steamed rice to finish it off. A few cooks couldn't find the Thai chiles, so they recommend using sweet chili sauce instead.

Sweet potatoes are a great ingredient for this time of year, when you're looking for fresh, spring-like ingredients but don't quite have the full selection at the grocery store. You can brighten up sweet potatoes with flavorful cheeses, crisp onions, and fresh dipping sauces. Serve with a side like Texas caviar or a corn salad.

"This was a lovely dish. I think half a box instead of a whole of pasta would make it better. Also it is very mild - not in a bad way but we like a bit more zing so we added some parm on top and a bit more salt and pepper," writes reviewer Merf56.

Stewed Tomato Pork Chops

Turn to canned tomatoes for quick but incredible flavor over basic pork chops. You'll boost the canned tomatoes with spices and herbs like rosemary, oregano, and basil. The recipe calls for dried herbs, but if you have fresh on hand, just double or triple the amount you use, as the flavor in dried herbs is more concentrated.

If you're short on time for dinner, use  a shortcut ingredient — store-bought pesto, in this case — to make dinner even faster. (No one will have to know your secret.) Some reviewers suggested adding bell peppers and mushrooms (or any other quick-cooking ingredients you have on hand) to add more nutrients to the bowl.

Tuna Lime Tostadas

Tostadas are a bit like an open-face taco. The flat tortilla is often deep fried before toppings are added, but if you don't want to break out the frying pan, just look for tostada shells at the grocery store. They'll be with the tortillas. Then, use this combination of white tuna, sweet corn, onion, and cilantro for a fresh and easy tostada topping. You can customize, but don't overwhelm the light, delicate tuna.

Heavenly Halibut

View Recipe this link opens in a new tab

Halibut is a mild but meaty white fish. It shines on its own, but it can also take a lot of flavorful toppings. In the case of this recipe, the fillets are slathered with a creamy cheese mixture and then broiled until cooked through. It won't take long, so look for a simple side that can cook in an equally short time to finish off the plate. We recommend buttery green beans.

"HELPFUL TIPS NOT MENTIONED: This simple dish always makes people think you've got MAD cooking skills which is great if you're trying to impress the in-laws," writes Allrecipes cook Chef Joy.

If you've got the waffle maker out from brunch, keep it out and turn a quick and easy falafel batter into a truly unique recipe. Like baking or frying, the waffle iron will make the exterior of the waffle falafel crunchy while the interior is still light and fluffy. Classic toppings will include cucumbers, tomatoes, and a hummus schmear. Or feel free to try a tahini dressing as a bit of a "syrup."

Get your toaster out of the cabinet. Tonight's dinner is going to need it, and no, you're not eating toast. You're going to use your toaster to make stuffed quesadillas that will be warm and gooey on the inside with a crisp, browned tortilla. "Once you get the hang of folding them, they are a breeze to put together and something the kids can make too. Serve with sour cream and salsa," writes recipe contributor France C.

Air Fryer Chicken Cordon Bleu

View Recipe this link opens in a new tab

Your air fryer can speed up dinner — it uses superheated air to quickly cook everything from fries to chicken — and it can make crusts on chicken cutlets so crisp you'll swear they're deep fried. But while the chicken is going to be crispy and juicy, the ham and Swiss cheese will be delicately toasted and melty. You'll need an equally impressive (but easy) side, like roasted broccoli.

Sausage and sautéed peppers and onions is a classic dinner with a hint of German inspiration. It also happens to be incredibly easy and fast, which makes it great to keep in your back pocket for busy nights. You can change the sausage up to vary the flavors. The original recipe calls for sweet Italian sausage, but spicy Italian sauce would work, as would smoked sausage or kielbasa.

Salmon Patties I

If you don't like crab (or the price of crab, for that matter), you can make seafood cakes with canned salmon. They're especially great in spring when you want lighter dinners that are still cozy and filling. For the best patties, combine the fish with bread crumbs, onions, and egg, and fry them in a bit of oil after shaping them into round patties. Some reviewers suggest you go ahead and boost the flavor of the patties instead of relying on a sauce. Their favorite addition? Old Bay.

Artichoke hearts, tomatoes, feta — if you can't get to Greece, bring it to your kitchen with this quick and easy pasta dinner. A few reviewers said you can cut back on the pasta if you want, but don't cut back on the feta cheese, they advise. KJ24 suggests a little extra would be nice, too.

The Brussels Sprouts Special

View Recipe this link opens in a new tab

Cauliflower pizza crusts are easier to find now than ever. (Check the freezer section, too.) But if you can't find one, a thin flour-based pizza crust will work. You're here for the toppings of Brussels sprouts, bacon, and Parmesan cheese. "I absolutely loved this pizza! The CAULIPOWER crust was crispy after cooking, so you could pick up the slices (not an experience I've had with other cauliflower crusts)! The flavor was exactly what you'd expect from a cheese pizza - so the base was just right," writes Allrecipes Allstar JARRIE.

Bring the deli home tonight with these homemade reuben sandwiches. Grab fresh sliced corned beef at the grocery store, and while you're there, get some potato chips, too. A few reviewers suggested heating the sauerkraut before adding it on so it wasn't such a contrast to the rest of the heated sandwich.

"I made this two days ago and we almost came to blows over who got to lick the serving bowl. By popular demand, I am making it again tonight," writes reviewer Tricia. Anchovy adds a major boost of salt, and canned clams adds oceany brine. These are all high-flavor ingredients that cook quickly, so this dinner is fantastic for busy weeknights or when you have an unexpected guest and need to impress.
