Directions

  • Select any brand of a thick steak, potato, and vegetable soup or stew. A soup with a thick
    sauce and stew-like ingredients will work the best.

  • Empty contents of canned soup into a container for heating, either in the microwave or on the
    stovetop.
  • Heat soup until ready to serve.
  • Using a sharp knife, cut in a circular motion around the top of a large crusty bun, removing
    the top. Compress crumb down to form a bowl for the stew.
  • Spoon stew into bread bowls.
  • Season with any spices or seasonings desired, such as herbs, salt, and pepper. And, if
    desired, add hot sauce to increase the spicy flavor.

  • Note: If the sauce in

    the soup is too watery, it may require thickening, because a sauce that is too thin will moisten
    the bread excessively. Most thick and hearty soups do not need to be thickened, but if necessary,
    place contents of can in a strainer with a bowl below. Drain the watery sauce away from soup,
    letting it drop into the bowl below the strainer. If desired, any amount of watery sauce can be
    thickened with 1 tablespoon cornstarch per can; then it can be added back into the soup or stew.
