The acid and the base dissociate in the aqueous solution, and their counterparts form an ionic bond with one another forming a salt. For instance HCl and NaOH dissociate to form H2O and NaCl salt

Bases do not have to be soluble to react with acids. Chalk (calcium carbonate) is a base and is insoluble. If pieces of chalk are added to acid it will react to produce a salt, water and carbon dioxide gas (these are the bubble you see). Copper oxide is another insoluble base, if added to acid it will form a salt and water (no bubbles of gas will be observed in this case)
