When the cold weather rolls in, nothing quite beats a hot bowl of soup to warm you up. Power Provisions’ bone broth soups are solid by themselves, but why stop there? A few simple sides can make your soup meal more filling and add some extra variety to the mix.

This isn’t about complicated dishes—just a few easy, hearty sides that pair perfectly with your soup to turn a cozy meal into something a little more special. Whether you’re flying solo or hosting a casual gathering, these pairings have got you covered. Let’s get into it.
- Crispy Garlic-Stuffed Bread Rolls
What’s better than bread with soup? Garlic-stuffed bread rolls. They’re warm, crunchy, and perfect for dunking into a rich, savory soup.
How to Make:
- Grab some rolls (or any bread you have around).
- Cut them open and stuff them with garlic and a little salt.
- Toast them in the oven until they’re golden and crispy.
These rolls are made to soak up all the goodness from your soup, making them an easy and satisfying side for either Chicken Vegetable or Cheddar Broccoli.
- Roasted Brussels Sprouts
Brussels sprouts might not always be everyone’s first choice, but when they’re roasted, they add a little crispy, earthy bite to your soup. It’s the perfect balance to the creamy texture of your soup.
How to Make:
- Trim the Brussels sprouts and toss them with salt and pepper.
- Roast them in the oven at 400°F for about 20 minutes, flipping halfway through.
The crispy edges and tender inside pair perfectly with the Cheddar Broccoli soup, and they hold their own next to the Chicken Vegetable, too.
- Savory Cauliflower Rice
If you're looking for something light but still hearty, try savory cauliflower rice. It’s a perfect way to soak up the soup broth and add a little texture without feeling weighed down.
How to Make:
-Pulse cauliflower florets in a food processor until it looks like rice.
-Sauté in a pan with olive oil and garlic until it’s tender and starting to brown.
-Toss in some spices (like turmeric or cumin) and a splash of soy sauce or tamari for a savory kick.
-Serve it on the side or mix it right into your soup for that extra bit of comfort.
It’s simple, satisfying, and won’t overpower the soup—you’ll just get that nice bit of crunch and earthiness to balance it all out.
- Simple Avocado Toast
Avocado toast doesn’t need to be fancy to be good. It’s quick, easy, and offers a creamy contrast to a bowl of soup. Plus, it’s a great way to use up that ripe avocado on the counter.
How to Make:
- Toast your favorite bread.
- Smash up some avocado, season with salt and pepper, and spread it on the toast.
Pair this with either the Chicken Vegetable or Cheddar Broccoli soup for a lighter, fresh side that adds a bit of texture to your meal.
- Roasted Sweet Potatoes
Sweet potatoes are naturally sweet and pair really well with savory soups. Roasting them brings out their flavor and gives them a little crispiness, making them the perfect sidekick to your soup.
How to Make:
- Slice your sweet potatoes into wedges or rounds.
- Roast them in the oven at 425°F for 20-30 minutes until crispy.
These are great with Cheddar Broccoli soup, or you can go the sweet-savory route with the Chicken Vegetable. They’re easy to prepare and a great way to add some extra substance to your meal.
- Simple Salad
Sometimes you just need something fresh to balance out all the richness of a creamy soup. A simple salad with crunchy greens and a light dressing is the perfect way to add some brightness to your meal.
What to Include:
- A mix of greens—spinach, arugula, or a spring mix works well.
- Add something crunchy—sliced cucumbers, nuts, or cheese if you’re in the mood.
- Dress it with a bit of lemon juice and vinegar for a light, zesty finish.
This side is a great match for the Chicken Vegetable soup, giving you some freshness that contrasts nicely with the warmth of the soup.
- Cheesy Herb Biscuits
If you’re in the mood for something indulgent, cheesy herb biscuits are a must-try. They’re light and fluffy, with just the right amount of cheese to complement your soup.
How to Make:
- Use a biscuit mix or make your own dough.
- Top with shredded cheese and some chopped herbs before baking.
These are perfect for dipping into your Cheddar Broccoli soup. The cheesy, herby biscuits are the ultimate comfort food for those days when you want something extra hearty.
