Homemade Tomato Soup in a Garlic Bread Bowl

Tomato Soup

Soup is one of winter’s ultimate comfort foods. There’s nothing like a bowl of hot, steaming soup to warm you up on a crisp day. And even though it’s not quite winter yet, I’m feeling some changes in the weather, and I think the time for soup has come! One of the classical and quintessential soups is: Tomato Soup! Most of us get our Tomato Soup from a can– it’s easy, convenient, and gets the job done. But once you’ve had it homemade, you’ll never want to go back to the can. Our Homemade Tomato Soup is flavorful and easy– much easier than you may expect. And served in a Garlic Bread Bowl, you can’t go wrong!

Bread Bowls

It was a great day when I realized that you could have bread bowls at home! Previously, I had only had them at cafes or restaurants. But bread bowls are common in most grocery store bakeries! Usually, especially during the winter months, they’ll just be ready to buy. Occasionally, you’ll have to call ahead and place an order. But you can most likely pick the bowls up the same day.

If you’re feeling adventurous, here’s a recipe for Homemade Bread Bowls that you can make yourself!

What really puts these bread bowls over the top is making them into Garlic Bread Bowls. For that, you need Chef Shamy Parmesan Basil Garlic Butter! Just melt it down, spread the Garlic Butter all around the inside of the bread bowl, and broil it for a couple of minutes.
