Butternut Squash Soup in a Bread Bowl
Souper yummy and easy! | 2-3 Servings
- Milk
- Wheat
There’s nothing more comforting than a warm bowl of soup—especially when that bowl is actually warm, crusty sourdough bread! Not just any soup will do, though—this sweet and savory butternut squash soup happens to be extra special. It’s made with a base of flavorful vegetable broth and creamy milk, and it’s chock-full of butternut squash, sweet potatoes, and sage. We wouldn’t leave you hanging without something to dunk into your soup, either: Save the bread you scoop out of the bowl for dipping! The best part? All you have to do is heat it up and dig right in! One slurp will have you bowled over. *Nutrition values are representative of a 1/2 bundle serving*

Cooking Steps
Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Place bag in pot; cook for 20 minutes, then carefully remove. (Caution: Bag will be very hot.) Cut one corner with scissors before serving.
MICROWAVE ALTERNATIVE: Cut one corner of the bag; pour soup into a microwave-safe container. (Do not microwave in cup.) Cover loosely with microwave-safe plastic wrap or a paper towel. Microwave on high, stirring halfway through, 5-6 minutes. (Caution: Container and soup will be very hot.)
BREAD BOWL: Adjust rack to middle position and preheat oven to 350 degrees. Cut a 2-4-inch circle into the top of the loaf and remove. Scoop out the inside of the bread to create a bowl. Brush inside of bread bowl with 1 TBSP olive oil or melted butter; bake on middle rack until lightly toasted and warmed through, 7-8 minutes.

Reviews from our home cooks
That squash soup is always a hit with my fam, the sage flavor makes it special. To be honest, I bought this bundle cause the soup sold out. But the sourdough bread was a huge surprise - excellent flavor and texture. I baked it 4 minutes in oven and sliced it instead. I would buy this again!
I froze the soup and bread bowls until I was ready for it...Amazing! I slowly warmed the soup in a large pan on low/medium heat. I carved out the bread bowls (thawed out), put in an air fryer for 5 minutes to toast, put hot soup in toasty bowl, salt&peppered and a dollop of sour cream. Yum!
I ended up slicing the bread and using it make grilled cheese sandwiches and they were great. The bread is soft, very nice. The soup tasted good but I absolutely had to take an immersion blender to it. The texture when it came out of the bag was very unappealing. Once it was smooth, the soup was good.
We love trying food and recipes at home that we wouldn't normally make ourselves, the bread soup bowls were a fun way to try something different than we would normally make and we really enjoyed them!
Delicious soup and easy to make! The bread bowl certainly helped to make this a filling meal.
The soup needed more depth, maybe optional spices or just add in some for future deliveries. Bread was good, maybe a very sour dough bread again for more depth/ flavor. Consistency of soup was very good.
Very good - loved toasting the bread bowl, which we do not remember from previous recipes
Really yummy, and it was so nice to have something this easy that also felt wholesome.
This was good but the bread was all squished when it arrived. Bowls were hard to make. The soup was great!
Ok but not much flavor. Needed salt desperately. Your tomato soup is far superior. Anxious to try pumpkin soup.
