Witches Pumpkin Soup



Tasty for special occasions






I know Halloween is over...........or is it really? :-)
Every year i make this soup around november / december as i have so many pumpkins left from Halloween time. This soup can be freezed in perfectly too. I save some for around the holidays in december. 

This soup is seasoned with herbs and apple cider and is brewed with sherry at the end. No, it has no eyeballs inside :p

No special instructions, just a nice fresh autumn soup with a witches twist!
