Foods high in soluble fiber don't have to be eaten with anything else. But veggies and fruits that are high in soluble fiber also contain insoluble fiber too. However, it sure cannot hurt to add a bit more SF.

Farina - or Cream of Wheat - usually is only made from the endosperm and is free of bran and wheat germ.

Cellulose is the primary component of IF. The ratio of IF to SF depends on how much cellulose as been added to the bagel. Also, bagels frequently contain HFCS. Do you know if the bagel you eat contains HFCS.

Mangoes contain roughly equal amounts of SF and IF. They can be eaten alone without additional SF.

Every fruit and veggies contains both soluble and insoluble fiber. However, when they are peeled the amount of IF is deceased. The list of soluble fiber foods is a list of foods that are high in soluble fiber but it does not mean they don't contain a fair amount of insoluble fiber too. Many people get confused by this fact. It is impossible to remove all insoluble fiber foods from one's diet. However, one can restrict foods to those that have a high soluble fiber content as well as insoluble fiber.
