Notes

1. Pumpkin - Use small pumpkins to make the soup, because that way you can also use them as soup bowls. But if you've got a large one, you can use that as a big soup bowl to serve your soup. That looks super festive.

2. Pepper and salt - To bring the soup to the right flavor add the salt and pepper just before serving. If you would do that earlier, the liquids will evaporate while cooking and your soup can get too salty.

3. Alternatives - 

Butter - substitute butter for vegetable margarine or oil for a vegan recipe.

4. Also delicious -

Serve this soup with mummies to eat or creepy bread fingers for a nice Halloween touch.

5. Storage - 

• This soup can be stored for up to two days in the refrigerator.
• You can freeze this in an airtight container for up to two months.
