bread bowls

Soup-holding loaves

A bread bowl is a round loaf of bread hollowed out to serve as an edible container for soup, stew, or chili.

The bowl's interior absorbs liquid while the crust provides structure.

After finishing the contents, diners typically eat the bread itself: I ordered the clam chowder in a bread bowl.

Sourdough is the classic choice.
