To balance those indulgent flavors, you need breads that bring texture, contrast, or just a little extra decadence. In this part of our Best Bread Pairings for Every Type of Soup series, we’re highlighting our most velvety soups and the breads that make them even more satisfying.

Sweet corn, creamy broth, and a touch of richness make this chowder a favorite. Pair it with cheddar chive biscuits—fluffy, savory, and full of flavor—to create a duo that feels hearty yet fresh.
