- 2 cups expired Instant Tomato Soup
- 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1/4 cup chopped fresh basil

Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Slice off the tops of the bread bowls and carefully hollow out the centers, leaving a sturdy crust.
- Place the bread bowls on a baking sheet and bake for 5 minutes to crisp up the crust.
- While the bread bowls are baking, heat the expired Instant Tomato Soup in a saucepan over medium heat until it reaches a simmer. Stir occasionally to ensure even heating.
- Once the bread bowls are slightly toasted, remove them from the oven and fill each with the heated tomato soup.
- Top the soup with shredded cheddar cheese and return the bread bowls to the oven for 5 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
- Garnish with chopped fresh basil and croutons before serving.
- Note: It is crucial to heat the Instant Tomato Soup thoroughly to eliminate any potential foodborne pathogens.
