Farm Boy’s Ultimate Guide To: Soup & Sandwich Pairings

Gorgeously silky and oh-so creamy, our Leek & Potato Soup is a year-round favourite. For your next lunch, why not try a bowl alongside our Ham & Brie Handheld Sandwich? The velvety texture of this soup pairs well with our Double Cream Brie, while the sharp notes of the leek work well with our Basil Pesto. Ham and potatoes are a natural pairing, and trying both in a soup and sandwich combo is a match that’s meant to be! (Or perhaps it’s meant to “Brie”!)

Our Thai Sweet Potato Soup needs a sandwich that can stand up to its bold, uncompromising flavours. Many sandwiches can get lost amid the tastebud explosion that is coconut, ginger, and red curry, but not our Chicken & Guacamole Substantial Sub! On its surface, this sub looks tame: chicken, tomatoes, lettuce, and cheese. But then, it comes at you with a punch of flavour from the guacamole and Farm Boy™ Chipotle Mayo Spread! Rather than duel, this duo dances together with a kick of heat and shared creaminess to help mellow.

We all know that kale is considered a superfood, but its reputation as a healthy veggie often leads to it getting sidelined on the flavour front. In our Mushroom Kale Soup, however, that’s definitely not the case. Kale joins earthy mushrooms and potatoes for a flavourful soup that also happens to be nutritious. To keep things balanced, we like it with our decadent Roast Beef & Caramelized Onion Handheld Sandwich. The natural sweetness of the caramelized onions works well with the brightness of the soup, while mustard and horseradish offer an added punch.

Of course, the no-brainer pairing with a creamy tomato soup is a grilled cheese sandwich. A gooey grilled cheese dipped in a steaming bowl of fresh tomato soup? Sign us up! However, if you’ve run out of time—or cheese—consider pairing this classic soup with an egg salad sandwich instead. The same nostalgia works with this flavour combo, and egg salad sammies boast a similar creaminess. Our Cream of Tomato Soup gets added flavour from a sprinkle of chili flakes, while our Egg Salad Sandwich has a delicious tang thanks to mayonnaise and lemon juice. Would we dip one into the other? Probably not, but we’d definitely enjoy them side-by-side.

Just because something’s basic doesn’t mean it’s boring. If you’re looking for a more nutritious, wholesome lunch that you can feel good about eating, look no further. Our Low Sodium Chicken Orzo Soup watches the salt but still keeps the flavour. With high-quality ingredients like real chicken, carrots, and parsnips, it’s packed with classic, homestyle tastes. This versatile soup is available year-round alongside our Turkey & Swiss Sandwich. Made with light mayonnaise, Emmental cheese, and oven-roasted turkey, it’s a simple and satisfying flavour combo we’ll never ignore.

Does this seem like a strange combo at first? Sure, but let us explain. Falafel is made with chickpeas, which have a delicious earthy flavour—much like the locally grown Jamaican pumpkins in our Curry Pumpkin Soup! Both the soup and wrap also contain garlic, which is another delicious way to tie this pair together. While the Falafel wrap could skew tangy, the sweetness of this soup helps it rather than hinders it. Bonus points for both items being vegetarian! Try this duo while you can, as the soup is only available seasonally!

Mamma mia, is this a flavourful combo! A meal all on its own, our Italian Wedding Soup is filled with classic flavours with ground pork, white wine, and Parmigiano Reggiano cheese. The mild, herbaceous chicken broth pairs beautifully with the tangy flavours of our Italiano Substantial Sub. Made by us with deli staples like Farm Boy™ Hot Genoa Salami and mild pickled eggplant, this combo is a seriously tasty marriage.

This soup and sandwich pairing is all about texture. Tuna salad can very quickly veer into too-creamy territory, but our has much-needed crunch from the inclusion of red and green onions and celery. Likewise, minestrone soup could be too broth-forward if there’s a lack of veggies. Fortunately, ours is jam-packed with tomatoes, zucchini, carrots, bell peppers, and more! A duo worthy of any lunchbox, this hearty combo will fill you up without weighing you down.

The soup definitely puts the “loaded” in “loaded baked potato”! Packed with rich, flavourful ingredients like salty bacon, cheddar cheese, truffle oil, and cream, this decadent soup deserves a sandwich that can echo its hearty ingredients. We recommend pairing it was a classic ham and cheddar sandwich. Fresh romaine lettuce and multigrain bread offer a delightful texture and toothsome appeal. The ham, cheese, and mustard are similar ingredients in the soup used in a new and delicious way.

Inspired by Asian flavours, this soup and sandwich combo really works thanks to its balanced sweetness. Our Teriyaki Chicken Wrap comes, naturally, with teriyaki sauce—that sweet and savoury flavour that works with many dishes. Our Coconut Curry Lentil Soup is also both sweet and savoury, with ingredients like mango chutney, coconut milk, and curry taking the stage. The spice profile of the soup keeps the wrap from being too cloying and together they are a symphony of taste.

Seasonal Roasted Butternut Squash Soup is sweet, earthy, and the perfect dish for fall. On its face, this soup is simple, which is why it offers wonderful contrast to a turkey club with all the fixings. Available as a handheld on a sturdy potato bun or in a tortilla wrap, this sandwich is a superstar of flavour. Turkey, Farm Boy™ Maple Wood Smoked Bacon, cheese, lettuce, tomato, and mayo earn the turkey club a reputation as a crowd pleaser. We like how the notes of the maple bacon play off the sweetness of the squash and the brown sugar in the soup.

When it comes to chicken salad sandwiches, you don’t want a soup that’s going to overwhelm its delicate flavours. Going with a heavy, creamy soup could lead to texture overload, which is why our Tomato Basil Soup shines here. Sweetened with a touch of orange juice, this tomato soup is light and bright, offering a beautiful balance with the chicken salad. If you opted for chicken salad as your lunch choice, chances are you don’t want something too rich in the afternoon, anyway! Deceiving in its simplicity, the savoury, umami flavour of this sammie pairs nicely with this classic tomato soup.

Why have one buffalo-flavoured lunch item when you can have two? That spicy, creamy taste is a favourite of many and it’s easy to see why. Our hearty Roasted Buffalo Cauliflower Soup needs a sandwich (or, in this case, a wrap) that can stand up to its bold, uncompromising flavour. Enter its equal: the Buffalo Chicken Wrap. Tender chunks of buffalo chicken get tempered by our Creamy Caesar Dressing and cheese to keep spice levels in check. The same goes for our soup, which uses rich cream cheese and butter to handle the hot sauce and smoked paprika. Enjoy this pair while you can, because this soup is seasonal!

Amplify the cozy, smoky, savoury notes of the ham in our Split Pea with Ham Soup by pairing it with our Dagwood Substantial Sub. A hearty sandwich, it’s a triple threat of beef salami, black forest ham, and kielbossa loaf for extra meaty flavour. The earthiness of the soup tempers any saltiness while rich ham imparts an extra dose of deliciousness. This is a stick-to-your-ribs option for a super-sized craving, and we promise you won’t be disappointed.

A vegan soup like our beloved Carrot Ginger calls for a like-minded sandwich. Enter our Vegan Greek Salad Wrap! This wrap is undeniably tangy and delicious, thanks to our Vegan Feta-Style Cheese Alternative, kalamata olives, and Farm Boy™ Authentic Lebanese Hummus. To offer a pleasing contrast, we have this brightly coloured—and flavoured—soup. Made with coconut milk and sweetened with real maple syrup, this fall-inspired dish complements the briny tang of olives and feta without overpowering them.

Two classics join forces to become a beloved soup and sandwich combo. Warm, hearty, and wholesome, chicken noodle soup is a favourite for any season. Ours is made with a savoury chicken stock and features real vegetables like carrots, parsnips, and celery. At the same time, has there ever been a salad as complete and satisfying as a chicken Caesar salad? When it’s rolled into a wrap and made into a portable sandwich, it’s even better. Separately, these two are both winners. Together, they’re even better.
