Suggestions:
-I served with sloppy joes - a great comfort food combination, and so EASY!
-Betty Crocker suggests serving w/ popcorn - looks fun and gives it a pub-type feel.
I will try this one for sure-I'm always up for a good soup recipe. And it's so rainy this week, so that will be perfect. What kind of bread would you suggest to go with the soup?
ReplyDeleteI would say either a crusty french bread or a good beer bread (which is usually quick to make and has a harder crust, too). Here is my favorite beer bread recipe that would honestly go pretty well with this soup. Let me know how it turns out :)
