Soup/Chili companions

[BenP]

Okay so was having a debate with some cousins about side companions with soups and chili and I always grew up with a grilled cheese with that main dish. They apparently grew up with peanut butter sandwiches. I've never heard of peanut butter with soups and they said they never heard of grilled cheese with soups. Some friends that were there thought we were both crazy and prefer biscuits or cornbread.

So to get a better understanding I want to see what the masses think, what is the best bread side companion with soups and chili?

Southern Cornbead for soup, Premium saltines for chili...

For either chili or chile, corn chips or flour tortilla. Pintos or black-eyed peas, cornbread. Ate a lot of grilled cheese with tomato soup as a kid, though.

Tomato soup means grilled cheese but chili or stew we eat a slice of buttered bread.

Mexican cornbread or saltines w/sliced sharp cheddar or pepper jack

What kind of sick son of a bitch would pick peanut butter sandwich?

I picked cornbread, but if you made me a grilled cheese sandwich made with corn bread as a chili side I’d be as grinnin and satisfied as if I were nude in a hot tub filled with sausage gravy.

Tortilla chips or cornbread with chili. Can’t beat a good grilled cheese with tomato or roasted red pepper soup.

Drop biscuits on this chicken and dumplings I made last night turned out ok …

Depends…
Chili=cornbread
Chicken noodle soup=peanut butter AND jelly
Stew=fresh baked bread
Tomato soup=grilled cheese

Best companion for Chili is a Cinnamon Roll.

Surprised that biscuit has no votes. I prefer cornbread but a good biscuit goes with anything.

I really want to try this chili and cinnamon roll thing. I can see how it would work. We are close to Cincinnati and have had a lot of Skyline over the years. Their chili has cinnamon, clove, and allspice in it and is good.

I’ll never turn down a grilled cheese. Even if it is served with clam chowder

The school system I grew up in from K-12 served peanut butter and wonder bread sandwiches with chili.

Of course our chili was thin and had leftover spaghetti noodles in it. Spaghetti always proceeded chili by a day on the bi-weekly menu.

We called those PB and white bread sandwiches “Choke Sandwiches” because they were hard to swallow.

Peanut butter AND jelly. Not the uncrustable bull crap the kids bring in their lunch today. We are talking real, natural peanut butter with homemade jam.

See the thing is, nobody knows skyline until they’ve had it. We just can’t do it justice explaining to the uninitiated how spaghetti, chili with beans and X-mas spices, raw onions, shredded cheese all come together so well.
