11 Delicious Side Dishes to Serve with Mushroom Soup

You’ve come to the correct spot if you’re wondering what to serve with your mushroom soup.

In this essay, I’ll go through 11 of the most popular mushroom soup side dishes.

In a rush? Heres the short answer.

Green bean fries, garlic croutons, sourdough bread bowls, and steak bits go well with mushroom soup. I also propose the following dishes: wild rice pilaf, cheese and onion toasties, and parmesan crisps. Try a simple arugula or broccoli salad for a healthier alternative.

Ready?Lets jump right in.

Garlic croutons

Croutons are a traditional soup side because they give crunch to an otherwise bland dish.

And garlic croutons are a crowd pleaser that will complement the earthy mushroom taste beautifully.

But you can switch up the flavors too.

For a more Mexican flavor, you might add extra chile or coriander to the mix.

These garlic croutons are almost too good to eat!

Psst a simple garlic bread would be amazing too.

Green bean fries

Green bean casserole, which is green beans in a mushroom soup sauce, is a traditional Thanksgiving dish.

So I couldnt leave green beans out of this list.

The soup’s creamy, umami taste complements the lighter flavors of the green beans.

To make your green beans even more delicious, bread them and then crisp them in an air fryer (recipe here).

Cheese and onion toasties

Soup with grilled cheese and tomato is as ubiquitous as sausage and mash.

Add some sweet, smoky caramelized onions to the mix, and you’ve got the ideal accompaniment to an earthy mushroom soup.

Remember to spare a few toastie bits to clean the bowl after you’ve eaten the soup!

These may be the greatest grilled cheese sandwiches I’ve ever had.

Sourdough bread bowl

Take advantage of this trend by serving your mushroom soup in a bread bowl.

By the time you’ve finished the soup, the bread bowl will have absorbed a lot of flavor and will be ready to eat.

These sourdough bread bowls take some time to create, but they’ll be spoken about for weeks.

Theyll save you some washing up too.

Wild rice pilaf

A simple bowl of rice may not be as fashionable as a bread bowl or as opulent as some steak bits.

But that doesnt mean its not tasty.

Wild rice has a rich, nutty taste that complements woody mushrooms.

Add a few spoonfuls of this wild rice pilaf to your soup for a hearty lunch that will keep you warm and snug on a cold winter day.

Can’t seem to locate wild rice? Brown rice may be used as a replacement.

Broccoli salad

This broccoli salad is a nutritious side dish to accompany your mushroom soup.

It has crisp from the broccoli, smokiness from the bacon, and sweetness from the cranberries, all wrapped up in a creamy dressing.

Get inspired daily provides three lighter choices if you want to avoid the conventional mayo-based dressing.

Cheese straws

Croutons are the typical crunchy soup accompaniment, but why not give croutons a little twist (literally!) with these cheese straws?

They’re kid-friendly, simple to prepare, and freeze well, allowing you to create a large batch and get it out anytime you want.

These sourdough cheese straws will go well with your mushroom soup.

(If you really want to go for it, wrap the cheese sticks in bacon.)

Steak bites

Are you a fan of steak with mushroom sauce?

If you are, youll love this.

It’s the inverse version. Lots of mushroom sauce with a few (or several) pieces of tender steak tossed in for good measure.

These 20-minute Cajun butter steak pieces will wow your dinner companion.

Simple arugula salad

Pressed for time and need something easy?

This arugula salad comes together in about 10 minutes.

Because mushroom soup is so creamy, it requires a tart salad to complement it.

That is why arugula is ideal. It has a spicy, sharp flavor that will complement the delicious mushrooms. The lemon dressing will also lighten things up.

Look at this extremely easy arugula salad with parmesan.

Crusted lamb chops

Want to present a stunning main course with your mushroom soup?

These crusted lamb chops are simple to make and will be ready in about 30 minutes.

They’re topped with a panko crust flavored with parmesan, tarragon, and chives.

My mouth is watering just reading this.

For a substantial Sunday lunch, pair these crusted lamb chops with mushroom soup.

Parmesan chips 

Instead of shaved cheese on top of your soup, try these parmesan chips.

They’ll give some much-needed texture to your soup while also making it seem quite elegant.

And the best part?

They are absurdly simple to create. Only four ingredients and 15 minutes are required.

I won’t blame you if you eat half a tray of these irresistible parmesan crisps with oregano and pine nuts right away.
