Serving Suggestions:

Serve this soup with a crusty baguette or toasted ciabatta for dipping. For a larger meal, pair it with a crisp salad of bitter greens, like endive or arugula, dressed in a light vinaigrette. A glass of dry white wine, like a Chablis or Pinot Grigio, would also complement the flavors of the soup nicely.
