After working for 35 years, I 'retired' in 2005 when I lost a lung to cancer. I've always been a homemade soup fanatic: I like to make it, eat it, preserve it, and give it to my friends and neighbours. Now that I had a lot of time but a very limited budget, I decided to indulge my passion and save grocery money at the same time by trying to ensure that leftovers were always used: now they usually end up in my soup pot, even if I have to create a new recipe to use them.
