French Onion Soup in a Bread Bowl
Souper yummy and cheesy. | 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 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.*

Cooking Steps
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.
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.
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.

Review summary
Updated on Dec 2025- Flavor: Many enjoyed the rich, savory taste, though some found it too sweet or bland. Consider adding extra seasoning to taste.
- Ease of prep: Simple to prepare; just heat, pour into the bread bowl, and add cheese for a quick, comforting meal 🍲.
- Suggestions: Toast bread bowl well and serve soup separately to prevent sogginess. Adding extra cheese, especially melted on top, enhances flavor.
- Portions: Some wished for more broth; consider serving additional soup on the side to maintain bread bowl integrity.
- Texture: A few found the soup too watery for a bread bowl. Try reducing liquid slightly or using a sturdier bread.
Reviews from our home cooks
This was really great -- the BEST of the soups I've tried from the Market. I would definitely order it again any time it is on the menu. My soup came without the cheese. I had some cheese left over from the chacuterie board I'd ordered at New Years so I ended up grating it and using that.
This is well seasoned, restaurant style French onion. If you buy gruyere/swiss you could broil on top (kind of wish that was provided).
In theory a bread bowl is awesome. But in practice, and maybe it was "operator error", I ended up with half the bowl just wet and gloopy. The cheese didn't melt and was weird. Fortunately I had toasted the cut out tops and some of the inside of the bowl so we had some crunchy bread with it. Soup tasted good; the meal set up was a bit of a mess. Ditch the bread bowl and make it with a baguette, serve in a traditional bowl with toast and cheese on top.
This french onion soup is soo delicious. I'm very picky when it comes to French onion soup
Great French Onion Soup and not too strong. Love it
Great soup! Just wish there was a way to keep bowl from absorbing soup.
Holy moly! So much flavor! Perfectly seasoned. Please keep these soups. Would definitely order them again and again.
This is really good but it's missing the big piece of cheese on the top. It would level up this soup in an instant! But still very good!
Needed more cheese on the top, but otherwise id like to eat it again.
I would probably order the French Onion Soup again but not with the bread bowl, it soaked up too much liquid.
