Directions
Bread Bowl Potato Soup, This is a fabulous potato soup recipe I have been making this for years It is an recipe from a restaurant called The Machine Shed I am always asked to make it by my family as well as for big gatherings We also have it on Halloween every year before the kids go Trick-O-Treating Our local store makes individual bread bowls that are orange and look like pumpkins They love the soup in these festive bread bowls It is a bit of a time consuming recipe to make, but well worth it once in awhile , Great soup, it got better the longer it sat I put a ham shank in the soup instead of the bacon, otherwise followed the directions This soup was great, the family thought so too Thank you!
