“Also sometimes called Pantry or Cupboard Soup, this amazing, hearty Crock Pot dish can’t get any easier.

“I’ll warn you that this isn’t the prettiest looking dish when it comes out of the oven, but man is it good! Use any two loaves of artisan-style bread. It would be ideal to have a round French/Italian loaf to bake the dip in and another loaf (that doesn’t have to be round) to cut up and use for dipping.” – Renee
