French Onion Soup in a Bread Bowl
Dough-liciously easy. | 2-3 Servings
- Milk
- Soy
- Wheat
There’s nothing more comforting than a warm, hearty bowl of soup—especially when that bowl is actually warm, crusty sourdough bread! Not just any soup will do, though—this rich and savory soup happens to be extra special. It’s made with a brothy base of flavorful beef and chicken stocks and wine, and it's chock-full of a medley of onions, garlic, and spices. 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
RECOMMENDED: Bring a 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.

- Ease of prep: Quick and easy to heat up, though a few were confused about how to properly cut the bread bowl.
- Suggestions: Consider broiling Swiss or provolone cheese on top for a more authentic French onion soup experience 🧀.
- Texture: The thin broth quickly soaked into the bread, creating a soggy texture. A thicker soup might work better in bread bowls.
- Bread quality: While some enjoyed the bread bowls, others found them too soft or lacking in sourdough flavor.
Reviews from our home cooks
The soup was amazing, and so easy to heat up. The bread bowls were sturdy and toasty but also soft where they needed to be. The only thing needed to make this better was some provolone cheese. We bought a package on our own and laid slices over the hot soup and put it in the broiler for a minute- it was divine!! We'll be ordering this again!
A+ soup B- bread The package says sourdough, but this is the whitest white bread I've ever tasted. The reason sourdough is used is because of the crust, it should be tough and pliable. The crust was flakey and easily cracked when cutting. Luckily the dishes I use are a bit deep. Ended up with quite a bit of soup on the plate. Also a bit of cheese would be nice.
The french onion soup was tasty but I didn't care for how soggy it made the bread bowl. Bread bowls are great with the creamy soups
Include cheese per traditional French onion soup. Be very clear about how to cut the bread as my Mom was confused and did it wrong so we couldn't use the bread as bowls.
Broiled some Swiss cheese on it for a few minutes at the end. Devoured every bite, including the bowl!
This was a quick and delicious meal. Loved this item!
Consider putting provolone cheese in the kit. We added that and it made this meal even more tasty.
One bread bowl was too small for soup. Needed more onions.
The bread got very doughy once you added the soup. It also didn't come with any instructions, I had to look it up on the site.
Was a bit disappointed. It was okay, but not great. I would really like to see a bundle with cheese to melt on top! The bread bowls, though, are very good.
