3 Winter Warmers: 3) Potato Soup

 Potato Soup

This recipe could easily be renamed a Student Winter Warmer because it is so cheap to make and is perfect as a hangover cure on those cold winter afternoons (when you wake up, also nice to offer food to whoever you brought home with you but that's up to yourself). As a student, two things that I always made sure I had in the kitchen were potatoes and onions. So versatile and they last for ages. This is an easy to make soup that really works well with garlic bread as a side.
