Hi, Barb in Bloomington - what is a French soup bowl?
Dai in Kelowna.

Wellll....I guess I'll find out if the fellow I made them for thinks that
is what they are! He has asked for a set of bowls 2"x5" with casserole
handles on each side to facilitate putting them in the oven. I have never
made French onion soup but I think part of the process is putting the
individual bowls in the oven to melt cheese. If Jake likes the bowls, I
also get a recipe for my efforts so perhaps I'll know better then. At any
rate, they are very cute sitting on the shelf waiting to be fired.

Thanks, Barb---if I'd read French ONION soup bowls, I'd have known what they
were :) Another way of making them is with one handle on the side, thrown
separately as a narrow cylinder, flared at the rim; the handle is then cut
at a slight angle at the base and attached to the side of the little
casserole. They're neat---and French onion soup is great, with it's french
bread and cheese on top, all bubbly and golden! Enjoy!
Dai in Kelowna, where, now that I have my garden all planted, plus 9 new
rose bushes, it's decided to return to cool spring conditions. Oh, well,
that's what we want to prevent flooding.

Hi Barb,

I have French onion soup bowls that I was given many, many, many years
ago, long before I ever made my first ceramics piece. Typically the soup
is made in a large pot, then the soup is ladled into individual bowls for
eating. A slice of toasted French bread is placed on top, and a slice of
cheese, mozzarella, I think, is placed on top of the toast. The whole
thing is placed in either the over or under a broiler so the cheese melts
and browns. The individual hot bowls are then served. Very attractive
presentation.

My ceramic French onion soup bowls have handles and are shaped very much
like saucepans. They have individual covers. I use them to hold potpourri
since I don't often serve French onion soup so elegantly.
