Cold winter evenings and all I want to do is to creep inside a blanket and watch my favorite TV show, sipping on a bowl of hot soup with some bread slices on the side. I keep experimenting with different flavors and try to incorporate lot of seasonal veggies in my soups. For today, I made a very simple Creamy Tomato Soup served in Edible Bread Bowls, using best and ripest of the tomatoes and served it in an edible bread bowl. The soup turned out to be one of the best tomato soup I have had in recent times and the bread bowl was the perfect accompaniment.

Bread bowls are a great way of having soups, since they can be eaten in one, and also complement soups perfectly. Besides tomato, you can even try this thick Barley and Vegetable Soup, or perfect Thai Pumpkin Noodle Soup on top which is just as delicious.
