Bread Bowls: A Comparison and This Month's Special

All bread bowls are not created equal.  I know, astounding information.  But it's true.  I know because I did a little comparison shopping myself.  I love bread, and I love soup.  I love it even more when my soup comes in my bread.  I don't like it when my soup makes my bread bowl melt though, especially if it melts through the wall before I'm ready for it too. Enter product comparison conducted by none other than myself.

Here we have two bread bowl. The one on the left is from Triple Beam Bakery.  The one on the right is from a local grocery store.  Notice the difference in size.  It's also pertinent to know that the one from Triple Beam Bakery is a sour dough bread bowl.

Here are the same bread bowls with the top cut off.  See the difference in texture?

Let's see how each top holds up.  This is from the local grocery store.  Looks lovely.  What happens when I apply pressure?

Flat as a pancake.  Not much there.  Let's go to our Triple Beam Bakery bread bowl.

Here is the unsmooshed version. (Yes, that's a technical term, unsmooshed.)  I apply the same amount of pressure, perhaps a little bit more...

Hmm. Difficult to smoosh.  Definitely more to it.  I think we have a clear winner.  Let's add the soup.

Yum!  And best of all, more bread bowl goodness to dip in the soup.  It's one of my favorite parts.  This is shown with cheesy broccoli soup.  My personal preference is the Tomato Bisque which I can't seem to get enough of.  It's the perfect compliment to the sour dough goodness of the bread bowl.

Now, you're all asking yourselves where you can purchase this delectable goodness that is bread!  Simple. Contact University Catering at 435-797-1707 and ask for it.  Better yet, get the whole meal and they'll set it up for you! 

Through November the Soup & Bread Bowl meal, which comes with a tossed green salad, dessert, and beverage of your choice is only $5.95 per person!  I know, it just keeps getting better!

You can also purchase the bowls by the half dozen and take them home for dinner!
