Recipe

The Bread

  1. Dissolve Yeast in Warm water until bubbles begin to form. Add Salt and vegetable oil. Add 2 cups of your flour and mix until combined. Then 1/2 a cup at a time add the remaining flour and combine and a tacky dough is formed. Knead this dough until elastic, about 4-8 minutes. Lightly oil your kneaded dough and a bowl and cover with a damp towel and let rise for 40 minutes or until doubled in size.
  2. Punch down your dough and divide into 2 evenly sized round pieces of dough. Cover with cling wrap and let rise for another 30 minutes or until doubled in size.
  3. Place in a 400 degree F/200 degree C oven for 23 minutes. Place on a wire rack and let cool completely.

The Soup

  1. Saute Onion in 1/2 Tbsp of Butter until just beginning to turn translucent. Set aside.
  2. Melt 1/8th cup Butter in Pot and combine with 1/8th cup flour whisking constantly until nutty. Slowly pour in Milk while whisking constantly, followed by chicken stock. Bring to a simmer and let cook for 20 minutes.
  3. Add Onion, Broccolli, Carrot, and Celery to the mixture and let cook for an additional 20 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  4. Add Cheddar to the soup and season to taste with salt and pepper.

Assembly

  1. Cut a round hole in the top of the cooled bread and scoop out the innard bread.
  2. Pour soup into the newly formed bread bowl. Top with a pinch more cheddar and the top of the bread
  3. Enjoy :)


bon appetit
