Not all Halloween foods have to be filled with sugar or chocolate as this healthy veggie soup proves. The soup even features a spooky spiderweb design making it ideal to serve before a big night out of trick-or-treating.
The soup garners its ghoulish rosy hue from the purple carrots and cabbage featured inside. Added in to the mix is an onion, potato, garlic, oil, vegetable broth and spices complete with cheddar cheese and heavy cream to give the soup thickness and creaminess. The soup is then blended and served with a swirl of cream. The swirl is then turned into a spider's web using a tooth pick to carefully pull the cream towards the centre of the swirl and replicate the connected webbing.
