I super like these set of four (4) bowls for my soup dishes, like a home-made chili or an onion soup perhaps that my family would want and enjoy. Actually, I've looked around for quite sometimes a perfect soup bowls because I always love home cooking and its been my hobby ever since i could remember. Cooking delicious meals, make new recipes and all that stuff. I think I've finally found the right one! These stoneware bowls is definitely one I need, what I like about it, is the versatility, it can be a bowl soup as described or it can even use for a rice dish like an Asian meal that i pretty much do making. I love it, nothing can stop me to getting these at Target! I'll be ordering this online since the store doesn't carry them.
