Halloween is fast approaching and I've got so many new spooky recipes I want to share with you before the big day! Today's recipe makes a lovely healthy Halloween meal and a nice break from all the sweet treats that are around at this time of year.

This delicious pumpkin soup is perfect for warming up before or after a spot of trick or treating and you can easily make it extra fun by piping on a spooky yogurt spider web before serving - it only takes a minute and it's much easier to do than you might think!

You can make this soup a couple of days in advance (once cooked, cool quickly and store in the fridge until ready to heat up) and it freezes beautifully too, so it's a great make ahead meal for the whole family.

The spooky spider web topper is completely optional of course, but it goes a long to adding some spooky fun to a plain bowl of fun!

Spider Web Pumpkin Soup

Ingredients (serves 4):

  • 2 small onions
  • 1 Tbsp olive oil
  • 1 cooking pumpkin or medium sized butternut squash
  • 2 large carrots
  • 1 Tbsp mild curry powder
  • 2 vegetable stock cubes

To serve:

  • 150ml natural yogurt

Method:

Peel and roughly chop the onion.

In a large saucepan, heat the olive oil then gently cook the onions over a low-medium heat until translucent.

Meanwhile, de-seed, peel and chop the pumpkin or squash into rough cubes.  Peel the carrot and roughly chop.

Add the pumpkin and carrot to the pan and cook for 5 minutes.

Add the curry powder and cook for a further minute or so until fragrant.

Crumble in the two stock cubes and pour over boiling water to just cover the vegetables.

Bring to the boil and cook for 15-20 minutes until the vegetables are cooked through.

Whizz with a stick blender until smooth. You can add a little more hot water if the soup is too thick for your liking and blend again.

When ready to serve, ladle into bowls and top with a spooky yogurt spiderweb if wanted (see instructions below).
