Serve any of these bakes as a side/accompaniment to the soups, or as a course by itself. Whichever you choose, you'll be glad they're warm, filled with veggies and packed with nutrients. Try the Caramelized Onion Tart with Ricotta Cheese as a light crunchy accompaniment. The Vegetarian Pot Pie, Grilled Vegetarian Moussaka or Mexican Inspired Vegetarian Oven Roasted Stuffed Peppers are more wholesome one dish meals that will perfectly round off the warm beginnings that the soups give. Try the Roasted Potatoes & Zucchini Bake or the Spinach and Ricotta Dumplings for something cheesy and warm.
