Collage of ideas to serve with potato soup including croutons, a sandwich and salad.

Piled high with all of the best baked potato toppings, creamy potato soup is the definition of comfort food.

Here is my recipe for Potato Soup. Made in one pot and in under an hour, it is thick, creamy and delicious. But unlike most traditional potato soup recipes, it is made without wheat flour and heavy cream for a naturally gluten free recipe.

Or for a twist on potato soup, try this Three Potato Soup recipe which is made with sweet potatoes, red potatoes and Yukon gold potatoes.

With so many delicious spins on potato soup there are so many delicious options for what to serve alongside.

I hope this list of delicious sides gives you plenty of inspiration!

Toppings

Take inspiration from baked potatoes and top your bowl of soup with one (or several) or these delicious garnishes:

  • Crumbled Bacon Bits
  • Chopped Green Onions
  • Shredded Cheddar Cheese
  • Greek Yogurt or Sour Cream
  • Homemade Croutons
  • Roasted Chickpeas
  • Parmesan Crisps

Breads

There's just something about soaking up the last of your bowl of soup with a chunk of crusty bread.
