Potato Soup

 I recently shared with my friends my passion for collecting  props for food. This obsession has become so well known with my friends and family that I am now constantly given props as presents. This beautiful soup bowl and spoon used in the photograph of the potato soup recipe came all the way from India.It was gifted to me by my husbands work colleagues whilst he was on business trip in India. The bowls have a beautiful blue intricate pattern hand painted on a lovely cream background. The pair of bowls are simply beautiful and I love them.

Creamy and rich hearty potato soup which is perfect to beat the winter blues.
