A New Tradition

Last year we ate soup out of a pumpkin on
Halloween night. I thought it was so fun I
decided to do it again this year. The best part
about it was Addie was able to join in the
fun of "gutting" out the pumpkins to help prepare
them for our fun dinner!

Ready to dive in! Notice the spoon...she did not
like getting her hands in that slimey gooey pumpkin
stuff!
This is how it starts

cut the pumpkins in half

Clean them out
Enjoy an appetizer while your waiting for dinner....yummy roasted pumpkin seeds!


And soup is on! We did cauliflower soup with a little orange coloring for the full festive look! Addie sure loved eating her soup out of her pumpkin.

What a cute idea! We might have to adopt this one for next year...

Looks fun. I have a recipe I've always wanted to try but just haven't been ambitious enough to do it.

I think this is a great idea and they turned out so cute! I really enjoyed those pumpkin seeds, thanks again!

fun idea. :) We just ate "dinner in a pumpkin" which is basically a decent hamburger casserole cooked in a pumpkin so you eat the pumpkin with it. Pretty good and of course way fun. :)

My mom makes Cauliflower soup for Halloween too! She affectionately calls it "Ghost Soup" though. :)
