Need a great dip recipe for your next get-together? I love soup or gumbo in a bread bowl. So when I found this dip recipe for a bread shell on New Year's Eve, I wanted to try it. 

My guests loved the dip! I served it on a simple plate, but it would look great on a fancy platter, too. And if you have leftovers, just wrap it in foil and reheat in the oven later.

I found this delicious dip recipe in The Best of the Best Cookbook published by The Junior League of Savannah, Inc. A big THANKS to my friend, Kelly, in Georgia for the cookbook!
