What to Serve with Stuffed Pepper Soup
This soup has earned a spot in our dinner rotation. We love to top our bowl with some shredded cheese – we love cheddar cheese, but mozzarella is also delicious! When it comes to side dishes to serve alongside this soup, I’ve got some great ideas for you. First off, consider pairing it with some crusty garlic bread or warm buttered rolls – the perfect companions for soaking up all that rich and hearty goodness. For a touch of freshness, whip up a simple mixed greens salad with crunchy veggies and a zesty vinaigrette that’ll provide a refreshing contrast to the soup’s flavors. With these fantastic options, you’ll create a well-rounded and satisfying dining experience that’ll have everyone savoring every last spoonful!
