Pumpkin Head Recipe – Pumpkin Soup

The ONLY way we want to breathe life into a pumpkin.

What is Pumpkin Head? We have no idea, but we love this movie and how gut wrenching and scary it is. Unlike revenge, this is a dish that’s best served hot.

 

Filled with rich, warm spices, cream and chicken stock, it’s a smooth soup that tastes like fall, but it great year round. We often make this dish when we want a thick soup to pair with meat, when we don’t want potatoes. It’s starchy and filling.

 

One quick thing? Don’t try to ask the backwoods witch to avenge … well, anything really. You are what you eat, but we don’t think you’ll turn into a Pumpkin Head if you enjoy it.
