🍽 Serving ideas
What do you like to eat with soup?
A loaf of crusty Homemade French Bread or Air Fryer Garlic Bread is the best thing to add to your plate. Dip the bread into the soup – it takes it to a whole new level.
Soup will also taste tasty with an arugula salad, or a plate of gluten-free noodles and sauce.
Click through to each recipe in the collection below, and there will be suggestions about what to eat with those flavors and ingredients.
👩🏻🍳 Dairy free soup FAQs
The best way is to use either a high speed blender or an immersion blender. Then, puree the cheese and broccoli (or whatever ingredients you used). This will make the soup perfectly creamy.
What are the best dairy-free ingredients to add to soup?This depends on the other flavors. Generally, things like fresh herbs, pasta, spinach and celery are all fantastic things to add to almost any kind of soup.
How do you thicken soup?The easiest way to thicken soup is to let it cook down. Let your soup simmer in the soup pot without the lid. Stir it frequently so it doesn't stick to the bottom. As it cooks, the broth will thicken naturally.
What's the best way to store leftover soup?Always follow the instructions in the recipe card. Most types of soup can be stored in an airtight container and kept in the refrigerator for up to three days.
🍷 🥂 Wine pairings
The type of wine that you serve with your soup will depend on which soup you make.
If your soup has a chicken bone broth base, serve it with a dry white wine, like Sauvignon Blanc.
If you make something saltier – like lentil soup – or if it's a tomato-based soup, serve it with a medium-bodied red, like a Pinot Noir. Syrah also pairs truly well with bean or vegetable soup.
