Hearty Potato Soup recipe


Bread bowls are a sandwich shop favorite for a reason. Instead of venturing out into the cold night air, fill homemade Italian Bread Bowls with chunky potato soup featuring potatoes, onions, carrot, celery, and savory seasonings. 
This amazing recipe I founded at http://www.myrecipes.com and I love it.
