What is a one-sentence summary of the following article?
A trip to a bakery or bakery section of your supermarket will reveal several different types of bread loaves.  Pumpernickel and sourdough breads are often round, while Italian and French breads are usually elongated loaves.  Larger sandwich rolls can become small bread bowls, or try an unsliced loaf of regular white or wheat bread for a larger option.  Even a loaf of raisin or banana bread could work with the right filling.  Remember, bread bowls do not need to be round, just fillable. Firmer breads are easier to slice open and empty out, however, so an extra-soft loaf of white bread may not be the ideal choice. With a serrated knife, carefully cut the top of the bread using horizontal cutting strokes. Leave as much of the bread loaf behind; only remove enough of the top of the bread to allow access into the loaf itself. With your fingers, scoop and tear away chunks of bread from the interior of the loaf. Be sure never to break through the outside crust. The thinner the filling you intend to use, the thicker you want to leave the walls of your bread bowl. Cut the removed bread into cubes for dipping either into the soup, chili or dips. Serve the bread alongside the filled bowl. You can also use this bread to make croutons or bread crumbs, or to feed the birds in your local park. Use the removed bread top as a lid, if desired, or cut it up along with the removed inner bread.

Summary:
Choose your bread and loaf shape, if not making your own bread. Remove the top of the bread. Remove the inner bread. Don't waste the inner bread. Fill the bread bowl with your selected soup, dip, etc, and enjoy.
