One of the simplest and most satisfying weeknight dinners has to be the classic soup and sandwich combo. Not only is it satisfying, but it’s easy to plan for and make.
Plus, more often than not, the soup can be made ahead of time which means all it takes to get dinner on the table is slapping together a sandy and reheat the soup. What a win!
Featured Menu: Butternut Squash Bisque & Cheesy Apple Toasts
Butternut Squash & Apple Bisque
Gruyère & Apple Toasts with Thyme and Honey
A silky-smooth butternut squash bisque pairs perfectly with an open-faced cheesy sandwich. The toast recipe calls for ham and gruyère but deli turkey and smoked gouda also works wonders.
