Hi all, I would like to wish you all Merry Christmas and I hope all your dreams comes true.
Special thoughts go to all who will have to spend Christmas on their own and those who lost someone special. It can be a hard time of the year but remember there is always someone thinking about you all.
This month I decided to make a hot soup typical from South Spain. It’s a handy recipe we often make to use up our Christmas dinner leftovers. Hope you all enjoy it.
