What Goes Good With Chicken Noodle Soup
Chicken noodle soup is a dish that undoubtedly shines on its own, but when paired with other food, the culinary experience is elevated to another level.
Pierogi
Many hold this Ukrainian classic dish close to their hearts. The range of pierogi fillings adds diversity to this heavenly combo.
- Potato pierogi: Smooth, creamy and doughy, this classic pierogi adds an intriguing texture with the soft noodles. When paired with chicken noodle soup, it satisfies both your hunger and your craving for comfort food.
- Sauerkraut & mushroom pierogi: The contrast of savory, slightly tangy and earthy sauerkraut and mushroom pierogi delivers a burst of flavor to the soup that you won’t forget.
- Short rib pierogi: The moment you dig into our short rib pierogi, the tenderly shredded beef just melts in your mouth. This pierogi completes your chicken noodle soup meal.
- Braised beef pierogi: Imagine having a spoonful of chicken noodle soup followed by a bite of the juicy, tender braised beef pierogi - who would miss out on such a delectable food combination?
Potato Pancake (Latkes)
Crispy potato pancakes, or latkes, are irresistible. Now, they might even be harder to resist when combined with chicken noodle soup. They add an extra layer of flavor to the soup when served with apple sauce or sour cream. You won’t get enough of the delightful texture contrast between the incredibly crisp pancakes and rich, meaty soup. This food combo feels like a warm, comforting embrace.
Beef Stroganoff
Beef stroganoff is often served over noodles in traditional Ukrainian households. However, this hearty delight goes just as well with several other dishes, including chicken noodle soup. Adding on its signature mushroom cream sauce and a touch of sour cream, beef stroganoff and chicken noodle soup bring a symphony of taste that is hard to resist.
Chicken Paprikash
Comfort food wouldn’t be comfort food without chicken paprikash. At first glance, the idea of having the boneless, smoky, tender and richly-flavored chicken paprikash with chicken noodle soup might seem unconventional. However, simply think of enjoying chicken in two delightful ways!
Kielbasa
The garlicky and smoky Kielbasa is a sausage dish that comes from Poland and Ukraine. Kielbasa is present in most family gatherings and significant celebrations. So, it is only culturally natural that we bring together two hearty Eastern European foods. Without overpowering one another, this combination will steal the spotlight in every group gathering.
Meat Stuffed Cabbage
Even though meat stuffed cabbage, or Holubsti is traditionally served on Christmas Eve, Veselka makes sure you get to enjoy this delectable cuisine year round. Whether you choose to have holubsti with homemade tomato sauce or rich mushroom gravy, it is guaranteed to keep you full and happy for the rest of the day.
Challah Bread
Bread and soup are a classic combination. Both filling and soothing, few food combinations can be quite as comforting. Challah bread and chicken noodle soup are that comforting bread-and-soup duo when you want a taste of sweet and springy bread soaked in rich, meaty chicken noodle broth.
