5. Serve hot, garnished with fresh basil or parsley.

What To Serve With It

When I’m enjoying a bowl of tomato soup, I always like to think about what’ll make the meal feel complete, and it’s hard to go wrong with a few classic pairings.

A grilled cheese sandwich is my go-to—crispy, melty, and perfect for dipping. If I’m feeling fancy, I’ll add a side of garlic bread or a simple green salad with a tangy vinaigrette.

For something lighter, crackers or a handful of fresh basil leaves work wonders. Sometimes, I even toss in a few croutons for extra crunch.

Whatever you choose, it’s all about balancing flavors and textures to make every bite satisfying.
