What sides go well with potato soup

Creamy soup makes for an easy meal, and there are plenty of different ways you can add variety. That way, you never feel as if you're eating the same dinner twice!

When considering what to serve with a hearty bowl of potato soup, think about sides that add some contrast! Since soup has a creamy texture, it goes great with things like crisp, leafy greens, or a thick sourdough bread slice that acts as a second spoon!

Soup is an easy way to get that classic, comfort food feeling without devoting hours to the kitchen. Some of the most delicious sides are made with simple ingredients, so you don't have to do much prep at all.

What side dishes don't go with potato soup

The best side dishes to serve with potato soup add a little bit of extra flavor or texture—without overpowering your main dish.

Here are some examples of delicious side dishes that are a perfect choice for something other than a big bowl of soup.

  • Candied Sweet Potatoes smell amazing, taste even better, and feel like the holidays. They don't make a great side for soup, though.
  • Cilantro Lime Rice makes a great side dish for protein and beans, but it might be a little too carb-heavy when served with potatoes.
  • Mexican Fruit Salad adds a fresh, juicy, zingy element to dinner. It goes great with tacos, grilled meats, and rice-based dishes!
