Bread Bowls

Wesley loves chicken noodles soup in a bread bowl from Panera.  Thankfully, he also loves my homemade chicken noodle soup.  This week, I found a recipe for homemade Italian bread bowls and I thought I would try it.  The bread bowl recipe was linked to a potato soup recipe that I also tried.

The bread bowls weren't hard to make.

When Wesley got home from swimming, he wanted to help put the final egg white glaze on the bread.

 I cut off the top of the bread and hollowed it out.

Time to add the soup.

Josiah ate one of the tops.   Dinner is so late on Sunday nights, that he usually has multiple snacks before dinner.

 This was a rare night indeed with the tv on during dinner.  We turned off the tv right after this picture, because Wesley kept turning around watching it.  I'm glad we didn't let the kids watch a lot of the Super Bowl or the commercials.  I am especially glad we didn't let them watch the half-time show.

I don't think the potato soup was the best soup to put in a bread bowl.  Tonight, we had the remaining bread bowls with Brunswick Stew which I liked a lot better.  After reading the reviews, I left out the brown sugar and the stew was sweet enough.  I accidently left out the potatoes this morning but we didn't miss them.  Chris thought the Brunswick Stew added a nice a flavor to the otherwise plain tasting bread bowl.   I think I will try the bowls again, maybe with tomato soup.
