This Soup Cauldron is fun to make and great to eat - not only is the soup tasty but the bowl is, too!
The size of the cauldron is up to you - you could use a roll like this.
But these round loaves look great!

Start by cutting a large disc out of the top.
Take the top off and then put your clean finger tips into the bread and pull the centre out.

Don't pull out all the bread and leave the hard crust around the edge so that it doesn't spring any leaks.
To make the cauldron leak proof, beat an egg and paint it on the inside.
Then put the cauldron on a baking tray to cook in the oven at 180c (Gas Mark 4) for 15 minutes.

Keep your eye on it because you don't want it to burn.
When the cauldron has cooled down, paint on some flames with food colouring.

Do this with a clean paintbrush and paint on the food colouring just as you would with ordinary paint.
Then the cauldron is ready for the soup. Use any kind you like - or why not have a go at making your own?

Very carefully pour the soup into the cauldron!
Finish it off with some breadsticks, placed around the cauldron to keep the fire burning.
And that's it! Mmm!

Serve up some soup in a Finger Tips Soup Cauldron - delicious!
