I've always thought that no matter how bad things can be at times, there is always someone somewhere who is suffering worse than me!<br /><br />Val, this soup looks so warm and comforting. I used to devour potato soup growing up, but now with watching my weight, it's a total splurge! The bread sounds wonderful paired with your soup too!

I often think how very blessed we are to be able to photograph food and share what we've eaten. I think of parts of the world that would love to have just a bite of our leftovers. <br />As for the soup, this just might scratch the itch I've had for a potato and leek soup. I love cabbage, and I haven't had my fill yet. I love Colcannon, so this soup is a great idea.Foodiewifehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00071730074240565916noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4567715590164266982.post-81301184902387132492011-03-19T14:56:30.223-07:002011-03-19T14:56:30.223-07:00A nice hearty soup and a nice hearty bread sound a...A nice hearty soup and a nice hearty bread sound amazing.

I so wish we could transport all our soups to Japan to help feed the people in shelters.
