Soup Toppings

There is nothing quite as comforting as a steaming bowl of hot soup. That is, of course, unless it’s a bowl of soup with toppings! You can certainly add a little grated cheese or a handful of crushed crackers, but to send your soup over the top – try one of our fun and easy to make Soup Toppings. 

this recipe!

We have a few toppings that you are probably familiar with, and some you’ve even tried. There are also a few new ones here that I think you will love to garnish your soup with.

For as long as I have known Doug, he has eaten his crackers with a little soup, that is, he crumbles handfuls of crackers into his soup until you can no longer even tell it’s soup. But with these new ideas for Soup Toppings, hopefully I can break him away from the boring soda crackers in his soup.

First up are these delicious and fun to make Bow Tie Pasta Chips. They are easy to make, but they do take a little time, so plan accordingly. After boiling, rinsing and draining the Bow Tie Pasta, they get a little drizzle of Olive Oil, a sprinkle of Garlic and Onion Powder then into the hot oil to fry for a few minutes until they are golden brown.

Who knew that plain old Parmesan Cheese would taste so delicious? Just add a tablespoon or two to a lined cookie sheet and bake for about 5 minutes, and you have golden brown Baked Parmesan Disks.

For the Tortilla Strips, we used a Pizza Cutter to thinly slice a Whole Wheat Tortilla, then cooked them in a couple tablespoons of hot oil.

For the Tortilla Toppers, I used a small cookie cutter to cut out a Sun Dried Tomato Basil Wrap, then fried them in hot oil.

A simple sprinkle of Monterey Jack Cheese for the Chicken and White Bean Soup.

No matter which topping you choose, or if you make them all, you are sure to get rave reviews on your Soup!
