Question
What blessing do we recite over pieces of bread smaller than a kezayit that are placed in a hot soup bowl, and why?
Answer
Hello,
If they are placed in the soup bowl, one recites "Hamotzi" and "Birkat Hamazon" over them, except in the case where they have lost the form of bread due to soaking in the soup. [Even though bread smaller than a kezayit that has been cooked changes its blessing to "Mezonot," here it is not considered cooking, as it is in a kli sheni].
If soup was poured directly from the pot onto the pieces of bread, there is doubt about their status, and one should recite "Hamotzi" on another piece of bread before eating them.
