Soup and salad go together like mornings and coffee, popcorn and movies, vegan cheese and wine … You get the picture. The wonderful thing about making a meal of the two is that you’re almost always guaranteed to get an abundance of vegetables and enjoy every last bite of them.
Another wonderful thing about soup and salad is that they’re always in season. Soup isn’t just a cold weather food, as salads aren’t just for hot and sultry days. You can enjoy them at any time of year. This chapter has 62 delicious options for you to choose from. Pick from one of 34 soups and then pair it with one of the 28 mouthwatering salad recipes. For example, on a scorching summer day, make Emily’s Chilled Ginger Berry Watermelon Soup with Mint and pair it with Marie’s Perfect Summer Salad. On a cold and snowy day when all you want to do is hibernate with a blanket and a good book, make Amber’s Creamy Tomato Soup with Homemade Cashew Cream and her Vegan Caesar Salad with Homemade Dill Croutons.
Feeding a crowd? Soup and salad are the perfect duo to make entertaining easy. Make a couple of pots of soup, such as Linda and Alex’s Cheesy Broccoli Soup and Roasted Sweet Potato Chili. Add a few salad options, such as Marie’s Fresh Orange and Fennel Salad and Amber’s Tangy Purple Cabbage Slaw with Dijon and Horseradish, and you’ve got a party.
