    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.

Slow Cooker Sweet and Sour Chicken Thighs
Credit: fabeveryday

Juicy, tender, and full of flavor, chicken thighs are one of our favorite cuts of chicken — and the slow cooker makes them so easy to cook. Unlike chicken breasts, which can dry out in the slow cooker, dark meat chicken thighs stay fork-tender even after hours of cooking. These hands-off, slow cooker chicken thigh recipes are as easy as dumping all the ingredients in your appliance and forgetting about it until dinner time — although we do recommend searing the chicken thighs ahead of time for the crispiest, most delicious skin. Whether you're looking for boneless or bone-in, here are 23 chicken thigh recipes for the slow cooker.
