There’s nothing more comforting than a warm, hearty bowl of chowder—especially when that bowl is actually warm, crusty sourdough bread! Not just any chowder will do, though—this rich and creamy corn chowder happens to be extra special (all 30 oz. of it)! For smoky depth of flavor, we’ve seasoned it with our signature Southwest Spice Blend. Pro tip: Save the bread you scoop out of the bowl for dipping! The best part? All you have to do is heat it up and grab a spoon! One slurp will have you (bread) 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

RECOMMENDED: Bring a pot of water to a boil. Place sealed bag in pot; cook for 20 minutes, then carefully remove. (Caution: Bag will be very hot.) Cut one corner with scissors before serving.

2

MICROWAVE ALTERNATIVE: Cut one corner of the bag; pour chowder 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 chowder will be very hot.)

3

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.

Review summary

Updated on Dec 2025
  • Flavor: Many enjoyed the tasty, comforting chowder, though some found it spicy; others wanted more seasoning.
  • Ease of prep: Quick and convenient meal; just heat and serve for an easy dinner or lunch.
  • Suggestions: Consider toasting the bread longer for a crispier bowl. Try adding scallions, bacon, or hot sauce for extra flavor 🌶️.
  • Portions: Filling meal that's enough for 2-3 servings; some wished for more soup relative to the bread.
  • Bread bowl: Crusty sourdough adds a fun touch, but a few found it dry or too much bread.

I would definitely do this corn chowder again. I prefer to toast the bread in the oven, then cut and butter. So fresh.

It was most excellent chowder. I loved it! The bowl was nice too. Soft bread was a very good compliment to the soup.

The soup was way better than expected. Very comforting and delicious with just enough bacon flavor. We loved the bread bowls.

Good flavor. We added some ham to the soup. This was the first time we tried the bread bowls. It looked pretty with the soup in it, but it's more bread than we would normally eat, so it was wasted.

This was spicier than expected. I'd give it a solid three but my husband wasn't a fan of the black beans in it, which seemed to be more beans than corn ratio.

I forgot how hard this was to eat. It is a lot of food so made the second loaf without putting the soup in it and used it for dipping

Easy to make-only need butter or oil on hand. Did not expect to be spicy. I liked it but it was too spicy for my daughter.

The soup is very good. Perhaps a little bit less sodium and customers could add more salt if they want?

So tasty, this would make a good big batch dinner and you could add the chopped chicken breasts
