We always say there’s nothing more comforting than soup, which is true, but soup inside a bowl made out of crusty sourdough bread? That’s what we call peak comfort! All you have to do is hollow out this loaf of bread and bake it so the bowl holds its shape after you add the hot soup. Pro tip: Save the bread you scoop out of the bowl for dipping into the soup as you eat it for extra yum-factor. Nutrition values are representative of 1 serving. There are about 1.5 servings per bread bowl.

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

Cooking Steps

1

Adjust rack to middle position and preheat oven to 350 degrees.

2

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 (use soft bread to dip in soup or save for another use).

3

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.

Review summary

Updated on Dec 2025
  • Flavor: Many enjoyed the taste, though some expected a stronger sourdough flavor. A few found it similar to white bread.
  • Ease of prep: Simple to prepare; most found it easy to hollow out and toast for a perfect soup vessel.
  • Suggestions: Consider scoring the top for easier cutting. Toast thoroughly to prevent sogginess when filled with soup.
  • Leftovers: These freeze well; some customers successfully thawed and used them later with soups.
  • Texture: The crust becomes light and flaky when baked, while the inside stays moist and soft.

These were great! I had put them in the freezer to use later. Just pulled them out and used them with the broccoli cheddar soup. The bowls were moist & delicious inside, while the outside crust was light & flaky. Perfect!

We love everything about them. I made soup from a couple of orders back for a 2nd time (my own ingredients) and added to the breadbowls. Outstanding! Maybe breadbowls could be added to other soup recipes.

My son got such a kick out of these. We served them with chili. He loved the idea of eating his bowl.

One of the bowls was a little shallow - maybe squashed in shipping? So it was hard to create a decent sized scooped out area. The bread bowl broke vertically in 3 places. Was still good, but messy.

Tasty, but it sort of crumbled apart when making the bowl... will try again!

I anticipated two for the two serving meal, but other than that, super good

Would be better if scored to make cutting it easier
