The weather outside may not have reached frightful yet, but it's becoming downright chilly here in the Windy City. (And windy… although that is redundant.) We’ve got a solution, though: fighting the cold outside by warming up the insides. Specifically, a fontina grilled cheese with mushrooms and sage, every bite bringing the internal temperature up to barely bearable. How do we get that thermometer up? Hot and creamy pumpkin soup, perfectly sweet and perfect for dipping. All you need is a cup of hot cocoa and some slippers, and you're all set for a snug winter.
