Ingredients

• 4 pieces Round sourdough bread loaves
• 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
• 1 medium Yellow onion, finely diced
• 3 pieces Garlic cloves, minced
• 3 tablespoons All-purpose flour
• 4 cups Chicken or vegetable broth
• 1 cup Heavy cream
• 2 cups Shredded cheddar cheese
• 2 cups Broccoli florets, chopped
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 0.25 teaspoon Paprika

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

Step 2

Cut off the tops of the sourdough bread loaves to create lids. Hollow out the center of each loaf to form bowls, leaving a 1-inch thick shell. Save the removed bread pieces for another use.

Step 3

Place the bread bowls and lids on a baking sheet and bake for 10 minutes to slightly crisp them. Remove and set aside.

Step 4

In a large pot over medium heat, melt the butter. Add the diced onion and cook, stirring occasionally, until softened, about 5 minutes.

Step 5

Add the minced garlic and cook for an additional 1 minute until fragrant.

Step 6

Sprinkle the flour over the onion and garlic mixture. Stir constantly for 2 minutes to cook off the raw flour taste.

Step 7

Gradually add the broth, about 1 cup at a time, whisking to combine and avoid lumps. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer.

Step 8

Stir in the heavy cream and shredded cheddar cheese until melted and smooth.

Step 9

Add the chopped broccoli, reduce the heat to low, and let the soup simmer for 10-15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the broccoli is tender.

Step 10

Season with salt, black pepper, and paprika to taste.

Step 11

Ladle the soup into the prepared bread bowls, placing the lids on top for presentation if desired.

Step 12

Serve immediately and enjoy your Fantabulous Bread Bowl Yum!
