Witch’s soup conjures visual nightmare
Avacado pieces resemble frog slices in this hearty tomato and bean soup
Floating green frog chunks sink into a Halloween night dinner. Blackened bugs and insect wings float to the surface. This Witch’s Soup is a perfect treat to add a creepy vibe to your Halloween feast. Avacado wedges make the perfect amphibian slices, while chunky diced tomatoes and beans add texture to this unsightly mixture. But looks are deceiving. While it may appear disgusting, the soup tastes delicious.
Black beans, diced onions and a savory mix of Pumpkorn seeds look like bugs flitting along the soup’s cloudy red surface.
Garlic Pumpkorn Seeds punch up soup flavor
Pumpkorn is pumpkin seeds that are dry roasted with tamari garlic. They are scrumptious as a snack, and the seeds were especially appealing as a buggy garnish atop a sour cream dollop. Fresh cilantro created a swampy feel with its algae-like appearance.
The avacado chunks raised eyebrows during dinner, a perfect foil to an otherwise everyday offering.
