Bread Bowl Ingredients

Method

Soup Preparation

  1. 1

    Sauté Vegetables

    In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion, diced carrots, and diced celery. Sauté for about 5 minutes, or until the vegetables are softened.

  2. 2

    Add Garlic and Broth

    Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional minute. Then add the vegetable broth, diced tomatoes (with their juice), bay leaf, dried thyme, salt, and black pepper. Bring to a boil.

  3. 3

    Simmer the Soup

    Once boiling, reduce the heat to low and let the soup simmer for 20 minutes, stirring occasionally.

  4. 4

    Add Spinach and Finish

    Stir in the chopped spinach and lemon juice. Let it cook for another 5 minutes until the spinach is wilted. Remove the bay leaf before serving.

Bread Bowl Preparation

  1. 5

    Prepare Bread Bowls

    While the soup is simmering, prepare the bread bowls. Carefully slice the top off each bread boule and scoop out some of the inside to create a bowl. Be careful not to puncture the sides or bottom.

  2. 6

    Toast the Bread Bowls

    Place the hollowed bread bowls on a baking sheet and toast them in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 10 minutes, or until they are golden and crispy.
