Quiet nights sharing a meal, chatting about the work day or discussing a good movie happen to be one of the highlights of my day.  There’s something about the weather getting colder, the days getting shorter and my sweaters getting heavier that I love. Call me a cliché but if we could throw in a fire place, a few cats and huge slippers in there, I’ve practically died and gone to heaven.

I did this recipe right after our Thanksgiving dinner, using the leftover turkey bones. It’s a basic stock soup, but you can use anything and everything in your fridge, which is one of my very favourite things to do! So curl up with your love, sit in front of the fire place and enjoy! (Just make sure to start this recipe well ahead of dinner!
