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 chock-full of onions, garlic, and herbs. 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, sprinkle on the Parmesan and Italian cheeses, and dig right in! One slurp will have you bowled over. Nutrition values are representative of a 1/2 bundle serving.

Produced in a facility that processes eggs, milk, fish, peanuts, sesame, shellfish, soy, tree nuts, and wheat.

Cooking Steps

1

BREAD BOWL: Adjust rack to middle position and preheat oven to 350 degrees. Cut a 2- to 4-inch circle in 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.

2

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 and pour into bread bowl. Top with cheese before serving.

3

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, stirring halfway through, 5-6 minutes. (Caution: Container and soup will be very hot.) Pour into bread bowl and top with cheese before serving.
