Soup's On: 13 Soup and Quick Bread Pairings

Soup's On! 
 
It's December and we're officially in soup season. Actually, since soup weather officially (well, at my house anyway) starts at the first frost, right around the end of October, it's been soup weather for a while now. 
 
And what to serve with the soup? For us it's always quick breads or muffins. The combination makes for an easy dinner to prepare and is hearty and warming for us all.
 
So, for today's post I've put together some of our favorite cold weather dinner pairings. For each of my soup recipes, I'm suggesting a complimentary bread recipe. There's something here for everyone, hearty meat soups, chicken, vegetable, shellfish, crockpot, stove top (and some you can do either way), soups for everybody's taste. And the breads, there's nothing like a warm flavorful quick bread right out of the oven. Make them in the pairings I've recommended, or mix and match to your own taste. 

Links to all of the recipes are below the pictures, just click on the name of the recipe you're interested in, you'll find the ingredients and directions at the bottom of the blog post it links to.
 
Stay warm!

Don't let these pictures fool you. Neither of the recipes in this kid favorite pairing is what you think!

~ paired with 
"Candy Corn" Bread: With chocolate, orange, and lemon layers, this bread actually has no candy, it's just made to look like candy corn.
