In reply to Mo. Hi Mo. I'm so glad you were able to adapt this recipe for both you and your hubby. It's definitely up there on our comfort food favorites. Thanks for visiting. Libby

I tried this recipe and had to make some changes due to having to be Wheat and Cassien free. It turned out ok, and my hubby loved it. Instead of using the flour, I switched it to rice flour and added another 1/2 tsp of flour. I used the goat milk instead of regular milk and it just added an extra zip to it, as I had to leave the jalepeno’s out for the hubby.
The bread bowl…….well it was for the hubby, but for myself I just used the UDI’s hot dog buns as a dipper.
Thanks for the ideas.

In reply to Julie. Onion soup in a bread bowl = Love. I've got a great easy onion soup post brewing may show an optional bread bowl. Thanks Julie.

In reply to libby. I made it yesterday. Even without the bread bowls, it was wonderful. Since there are only two of us, I have enough left for lunch tomorrow, too. Thanks for the bread bowl advice. I think I'll try that for tomorrow. Happy New Year!

Hi Libby,The Corn ,potato chowder /bacon in bread bowels look mouth watering, I use to make home made onion soup topped with White yummy melted cheese (cant remember what kinda of cheese ??) I do remember buying the bread and cut in halve’s then baking.It was alot faster for some one in A rush to eat your tastey receipi!! It came out like you mentioned, crusted and sturdy on the exterior so the soup doesnt ruin the bowl..I just cant seem to find them ..this was 20 years ago..lol.. Perhaps A baker can lead me to them at the market..It ‘s A good Alternative to those without the bread oven.. :0 Thank’s Libby

In reply to Ashley. Technically four. but it's delicious and that means we'll come back for more soup. So maybe 2 1/2. Enjoy.

In reply to Ellen P..

Ellen, so sorry for the late reply. I followed the french bread dough recipe, but instead of cutting the dough in two, I cut it in four pieces, then followed the recipe. It called for 60 minutes to proof in a 100 degree oven, then to bake them at 375 for 25-30 minutes. We baked ours until they were nice and brown so the crust would support the soup. They were fantastic. And yes, please warm up with some chowder….18 degrees….big brrr.

How did you make the bread bowls? I have a bread machine, but wonder how you adapted a bread recipe. Any advice?
Thanks!
PS – I have everything for this chowder and since it’s 18 degrees outside with a 20 mph wind, this sounds like a perfect dinner for today!
