What to Serve with Tortellini Soup

The great thing about this Vegetarian Tortellini Soup is that it is completely satisfying on its own. However, we do like to serve it with some of these options for a well-rounded meal.

SANDWICHES: a grilled cheese sandwich is the best comfort food partner to Cream of Tomato Soup. Try our Steel City Grilled Cheese or Fried Bologna Sandwich.

SALAD: greens are always a good option for a lighter meal. Try our Lemon Kale Salad, Grilled Romaine Salad or Tuscan White Bean Salad.

BREAD: a big chunk of Pickled Pepper Focaccia Bread or a Cheddar Cheese Biscuit dipped in Tomato Soup is the perfect bite.
