Jess, were you asking whether this is a good recipe for shaping into little loaves that you can use as soup or chili bowls by cutting off the "lid" and scraping out the middle? It should be great for that purpose. One really minor warning: no-knead breads like this one can have irregular holes in the crumb (that sort of "artisan" look is usually seen as a good thing), so you may have more "rustic" looking bowls rather than perfectly even, perfectly shaped ones. Don't let that stop you!
