I mean every human must try grilled cheese and tomato soup
Or go to northern Portugal for the ultimate one. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Francesinha
Finland. Peasoup and sourdough ryebread. It's a total fart chaos combo.
Complete set is peasoup with mustard and chopped onions with ryebread on the side. Dessert is Finnish pancake with jam.
This set will tear you a new rectum and make fellows lose their hair.
edit: typo
Is there anything on the bread though? I was doing the mental math and I can find combos of soup with undressed bread to dip into it, tomato soup and baguette are maybe the most commonly known of the kind. But it strikes me the idea of soup and a two slices of bread with something in between is very anglosaxon, possibly more North American thing.
Yeah. Butter.
That's something. But I wouldn't call that a sandwich.
You have a right to do so my dear fellow lemming.
Still it's the best combo.
The Finns are so wonderfully weird, I love it
Oh hey it's Thursday, they're serving exactly that at school today!
Does Finnish ryebread typically include carroway? I often add carroway when I make pea soup, it is a good combination.
No.
Original consist only of rye, water and salt.
Modern ones include some wheat and some even have yeast. Then there are all sorts of specials to include wide variety of things.
But never have I heard of caraway or carroway, if you will in rye bread. It could work though.
Ah right, caraway, I spelled it wrong! It's a common rye bread spice in some countries.
Nothing beats a piping hot bowl of pho and a fresh banh mi. The Vietnamese know what's up with food
If you're going to be really flexible on the definition of sandwich, let me introduce you to the pie floater.
I'd eat that
Bahn-mi and phó
Finally sanity in the thread
Hungarian soups with bread, anything can be a soup!
Tho the sour cherry soup needs a sweet brioche bun! (Briós)
Sour cherry soup sounds good 👀
New Zealand.
Maggi Onion Soup (powdered soup mix), reduced cream, a splash of malt vinegar. Mix and cool in fridge to set.
Scoop and press between two potato chips of your choosing.
This issue just chips and dip with more steps?
Torta ahogada (drowned sandwich, México) although not exactly soup, its almost both soup and sandwich in one dish (not soup bc its basically tomato sauce)
Hadn't heard of that nice
Irish seafood chowder with soda bread, although it's not really a sandwich.
French onion soup and a croque madame or croque monsieur. Not usually eaten together but both are amazing.
Not going to argue with all the vietnames posts. Banh Mi and Pho are excellent.
The American staple of cream of tomato with a grilled cheese works as a great pairing.
If dumplings count as a sandwich then Chinese noodle dumpling soups are also excellent.
French onion soup is arguably both a soup and a sandwich and also delicious, so France.
I feel a Mexican torta ahogada could qualify if we keep the definition of soup flexible, too.
Bouillabaisse + Pan Bagnat
Sorry y'all lost
Most days I eat a sandwich for lunch. About once a week, I'll have soup. Occasionally, I'll have both, but it's very rare. Other than the classic grilled cheese with tomato soup, I don't tend to want both. I like soup, or a sandwich. Both is too much food. Even when I have only a sandwich, it's almost only a half.
There was a time when I would have gulped them both down, but I was also 350 pounds, too. Now I've dropped 100, with maybe 50 more to go, and I've totally changed the way I eat. Instead of seeing a hearty lunch of both, I immediately think of which thing can go in the fridge for tomorrow's lunch.
The US because we have every option listed here if you go to the right restaurant.
Just because they have claim to have every cuisine at the buffet, does not make it true.
