soup and sandwich
Classic lunch pairing
Soup and sandwich is a common pairing offered at casual restaurants, typically as a lunch combination: I'll have the soup and sandwich special.
The phrase can describe something basic or standard—an unremarkable but satisfying option.
In some contexts, it suggests a light, simple meal as opposed to something more substantial.
