Description
Witch’s Veggie Potion Soup is a whimsical and healthy Halloween-themed soup featuring a vibrant green broth made from blended vegetables, with floating ‘eyeballs’ (mozzarella or tofu balls) and ‘worms’ (spaghetti squash or noodles). This fun, nutrient-packed soup is perfect for a spooky dinner or party.
Ingredients
– 2 tablespoons Olive Oil
– 1 large Yellow Onion, chopped
– 2 cloves Garlic, minced
– 4 cups Russet Potatoes, peeled and cubed
– 1 medium Head of Cauliflower, chopped into florets
– 4 cups Red Cabbage, shredded
– 8 cups Vegetable Broth
– 1 teaspoon Dried Thyme
– 1 teaspoon Dried Rosemary
– 1 Bay Leaf
– 1 cup Heavy Cream (or full-fat coconut milk for a vegan option)
– Salt and Black Pepper, to taste
Instructions
- In a large pot, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add onion and garlic, sauté until fragrant.
- Add zucchini, spinach, broccoli, and herbs. Cook for 5 minutes until vegetables begin to soften.
- Pour in vegetable broth, bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 15 minutes until vegetables are tender.
- Use an immersion blender to puree the soup until smooth. Season with salt and pepper.
- To serve, ladle soup into bowls and add cooked spaghetti squash or noodles (‘worms’) and mozzarella or tofu balls (‘eyeballs’).
- For added effect, add a slice of black olive to each ‘eyeball’ to create a pupil.
- Serve warm with spooky decorations on the side.
Notes
- For a creamier texture, add a splash of coconut milk or cream after blending.
- Make the ‘eyeballs’ ahead by using store-bought mozzarella balls or shaping firm tofu into small balls.
- Garnish with extra herbs or green onions for a more ‘magical’ look.
- Kids can help decorate the ‘eyeballs’ and add the ‘worms’ for a fun activity.
