Spooky Butternut Squash Soup:

This butternut squash soup is perfect for soup season. And we are making it extra festive for spooky season by turning the soup into a spiderweb using yogurt. And pairing it with homemade grilled cheese ghost.

What you’ll need:

  1. Apple
  2. Celery
  3. Butternut squash
  4. Garlic
  5. Tomatoes
  6. Olive oil
  7. Jalapeño
  8. Vegetable broth
  9. Salt and pepper
  10. Yogurt
  11. Bread of choice
  12. Cheese of choice
  13. Olives
  14. Butter of choice

How to prepare the butternut squash soup:

This butternut squash soup is the easiest soup to prepare! Preheat oven on 400°F, add chopped butternut squash, celery, tomatoes, apple, garlic, olive oil, salt and pepper to a lined baking sheet. And bake for 40-45 minutes. Once done, carefully transfer it all to a high powered blender, along with 1 1/2 cups warmed vegetable broth. And blend until smooth. But make sure to taste test and adjust seasoning if needed.

How to create the spiderweb look:

And now it is time to play with your food. Add the butternut squash soup to a bowl. And with dairy free yogurt of choice, create the web. And if your yogurt is too thick, you can add a little water to thin it out. I like to add my yogurt to a squeeze bottle. But if you don’t have one, you can add to a zip lock bag, snipping off the corner of the end of bag. Start by making a circle in the center and working your way out. And using a toothpick, spread outwards to create the spider web look. And create a spider using olives.

How to make ghost grilled cheese:

And this butternut squash soup wouldn’t be complete without some fun and festive ghost grilled cheese. Using a ghost cookie cutter, press into bread and cheese slices of choice. And spread some butter on each slice of bread. Place the buttered side down on a pan on medium heat, add the cheese slice, and place the other slice of bread, buttered side up. And cook a few minutes on each side. Once done, add olives for the ghost eyes.
