Instructions

1

Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).

2

Slice off the tops of the bread bowls and carefully hollow out the centers, leaving a sturdy crust.

3

Place the bread bowls on a baking sheet and bake for 5 minutes to crisp up the crust.

4

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.

5

Once the bread bowls are slightly toasted, remove them from the oven and fill each with the heated tomato soup.

6

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.

7

Garnish with chopped fresh basil and croutons before serving.
