A bread bowl is a round loaf of bread which has had a large portion of the middle cut out to create an edible bowl. They are typically larger than a roll but smaller than a full sized loaf of bread. Bread bowls can be used to serve chili New England-style clam chowder and other thick stews (often but not always with a cheese or cream base). Soups with thinner bases are not generally served in bread bowls as the broth would make the bread get too soggy too quickly.
