Potato Soups

I often wake-up in the middle of the night craving for some warm comfort food. It is at times like these when every diet plan goes for a toss and packets of biscuits and chips go piling up. That is why in winters I always keep some hearty soup ready in the fridge. A quick heat and you have in front of you a bowl of warm winter buster great for both the body and soul...
