What To Serve With It
When I’m making chicken noodle soup, I always think about what’ll make the meal feel even more complete, and I’ve found a few side dishes that pair perfectly.
A crusty loaf of bread or buttery dinner rolls are my go-to—they’re amazing for soaking up every last drop of broth.
Sometimes, I’ll add a simple garden salad with a light vinaigrette for a fresh crunch.
If I’m feeling fancy, a grilled cheese sandwich is a classic choice that never disappoints.
For a lighter option, steamed veggies or a fruit salad can balance the meal just right.
