    A huge salad with loads of veggies. Sometimes I don't have the soup, so I make sure to put a hard boiled egg or leftover chicken or pork on the salad. But I love soup and a salad.

    I typically don't eat anything with soup, but I have made fried halloumi cheese (in butter) along with tomato soup for a "grilled cheese & tomato soup" type-flavor.

    I typically eat a piece of fruit and a couple of cheese sticks. Occasionally, I'll eat a few crackers, too.

    A spoon! No seriously, I usually eat hearty soups, so I just eat it alone, and maybe some fruit for dessert.

    I find that a bit odd having hot soup with cold salad :(

    I had chicken tortilla soup (no tortilla) for lunch today. That's it.
    I will have an apple for my mid afternoon snack.

    I had a salad with my soup today at lunch. I also enjoy having a serving of Pop Chips or Quest protein chips in the place of crackers. You get so many more for the calorie count!

    If it's commercially prepared soup there are not enough veggies in there for me. I bring some veggies to cook, or a side salad. Those frozen steamable bags are great for 2 days of lunches.

    Love cup of soups. Sometimes I also have melba toast with camembert.

    I have soup almost every day for lunch, and they're really hearty so I don't need something on the side. I'll eat fruit and yogurt several hours later for an afternoon snack.

    I eat soup almost everyday for lunch. I eat mine with saltine crackers.

    A low carb tortilla with ham and cheese. But I guess it would depend on the soup.. I got for the low calorie stuff.

    Salad or fruit, or depending on what type of soup... a baked potato can be a good substitute for a bread bowl.

    Depends on the soup.
    Bread, sandwich, crackers, tortilla chips, nothing.

    I'm currently having butternut squash soup with a roll, but I stir some goat's cheese into the soup. It works surprisingly well

    LOL!! :p

    Me too. I don't eat anything "with" my soups, 'cause my soups are pretty loaded. I even add eggs (poached) to many of my soups.

    how about a warm salad like some veggies tossed in a little light vinaigrette heated up? There is one I use (wishbone italian maybe) that is I think 15/20 calories per 2 tablespoons and it actually goes nicely on some heated veggies.

    Sometimes I will drop grape/cherry tomatoes into my soup, or some other veggie that does nicely with being in the hot hot soup for just a few minutes and doesn't really need to cook because it is also good raw (like zucchini or cauliflower depending on the kind of soup)

    I agree with a wedge or stick of cheese, especially if the soups is low fat content because I need higher fat content to feel satiated. A serving of cottage cheese works too. Pretty much anything that is not bread/cracker related as I just do not feel or stay as full as I'd like eating those things.

    I had a tomato/cabbage type soup I made the other day and dropped 60 cals of sour cream in it because my calories were low and I wanted the fat, and it was *amazing* and I thought it might be gross so you might try out some ideas and see how you actually like them, you might be surprised!

    Slices of ham/chicken, cheesestrings.... followed by fruit/natural yoghurt about 2 hours later.

    Sometimes crackers. I have also started throwing in a handful of croutons so I have something to crunch..

    I usually do toast with butter, or it's a small portion of soup, I pair it with a sandwich. Grilled cheese with tomato soup has to be one of my favorites :)

    I usually have a cheese stick or some veggies (sugar snap peas, etc). I almost always have a piece of fruit at lunch as well. Today I also had a seaweed snack.

    if you cánt eat bread because of the gluten, ricecrackers with lowfatcheese or kiwi etc. If youre looking for variety, a small couscous salad and you can eat the couscous while its still warm. I use lowfat yoghurt or quark (in French known as fromage blanc) instead of sour cream.
