Back before St. Louis Bread Co. became Panera, "Bread Co" (as we called it in the STL) really hollowed out the bread bowl to ladle in a generous amount of soup, then they would put two slices of Swiss cheese on top and put it in a steamer so it melted over the soup and bread bowl. Now it's barely a few ounces of soup with shredded cheese on top. Hopefully they have also made updates on how they serve the soup.

Phyllis, along with Pam, are both STL natives.
