So, I made the bread bowl broccoli / cheddar soup yesterday.
The soup came out very tasty and even my husband liked it. Next time tho I will add some potatoes as I think any creamy chowder type soup just taste better potatoes in them. The only thing, I got to get a food processor. It was quite dangerous and tedious using a hand box grater to grate all the cheese.
Well, the bread bowls... I followed the exact recipe and somehow the dough came out too wet. Added quite a bit of flour afterwards and still wet. When they came out of the oven there were three men's berets sitting in front of me. So don't dump the whole water all at once like I did. Try a little less water first and check the consistency.
I still cut the center part out and poured the soup in it. It was good!
One of the reviewers recommended using Cabot sharp cheddar cheese and I used yellow/white 50/50 but I think I will go 100% yellow for a better visual effect next time.
The bread making part was really not that hard and you will even have fun with these recipes.
