Spiced Pumpkin & Apple Soup
It’s that time of year again. With things being so very different this year, treat yourselves to some homemade healthy soup.
As well as providing you with some of your seven a day it is also very economical to make, using the flesh from all that pumpkin carving and windfall apples.
For the adults I highly recommend using cider to make this soup, however, for the children vegetable stock is a better option.
To finish the soup, toast some bread, using a cookie cutter, stamp out to ghostly shapes, Sprinkle with grated cheese or a vegan alternative, float on tp of individual bowls of soup.
