My favorites are: Buttered cornbread  for dipping Crusty (toasted) bread or a baguette  with lots of butter Homemade  biscuits  if you want something extra comforting My favorite arugula salad  helps to balance the rich soup Quesadillas  for something fun and kid-friendly to dunk in the soup For toppings, shredded sharp Cheddar, sour cream, avocado, green onions, or crushed tortilla chips are all really good.
