Adding a side of garlic bread will elevate the dining experience, providing an additional layer of flavor and texture that's perfect for dipping.

For those wishing to enhance their meal further, a glass of red wine, such as Chianti or a medium-bodied Merlot, can create a delightful harmony. The wine's acidity cuts through the richness of the soup, balancing the dish and underscoring the Italian theme. Enjoy this combination for a cozy dinner that you'll want to repeat time and again.
