Order a selection from our e-comm store or catering options to have everything ready, and boost your basket with add-on items like premade soups or herb butters for effortless assembly. Let's explore these visual pairings that inspire everyday enjoyment and make mealtimes special!
Begin with a classic: Tomato soup paired with a garlic Go Bagels bagel. Warm up canned or homemade tomato soup (simmer with basil and a touch of cream for richness), then toast the garlic bagel and slice it into strips for dipping. The bagel's robust garlic flavor amplifies the soup's tangy sweetness, creating a visual duo of red soup and crispy edges—perfect for rainy days or quick dinners. It's hearty yet light, with the bagel adding chew that soaks up the broth beautifully. Pro tip: Grill the bagel halves with cheese for a mini grilled cheese effect, making it kid-friendly and encouraging family-style sharing. Order our garlic bagels online for weekly comfort.
For something nurturing, match chicken noodle soup with a plain Go Bagels bagel buttered simply. Prepare the soup with carrots, celery, noodles, and shredded chicken, then serve the toasted bagel on the side—spread with butter or a herb compound for extra flavor. The plain bagel's mildness lets the soup's savory broth shine, while providing a soft, absorbent companion that's visually appealing with its golden crust against the colorful veggies. This pairing is practical for sick days or busy evenings, offering balanced nutrition and warmth. Add a sprinkle of parsley for a pop of green, and consider our catering platters for group servings at potlucks.
Go creative with veggie minestrone and onion bagel croutons: Simmer a pot of minestrone with beans, tomatoes, zucchini, and pasta, then cube an onion Go Bagels bagel, toss with olive oil and herbs, and toast at 375°F until crisp. Scatter the croutons over the soup for added texture—the onion flavor echoes the soup's aromatic base, creating a visually textured bowl with floating golden bits. It's filling, veggie-forward, and customizable; swap in seasonal produce to keep it fresh.
