    Halloween is just around the corner now, so get your spook on with this hot and spicy seasonal treat. The mild flavor of the pumpkin gets perked up with paprika, cayenne pepper, and cumin, while the apples and cinnamon add a little sweetness that might be just what you need to beat the seasonal candy cravings.

    Add a smooth taste from the coconut milk and homemade bone stock, and cheap “fun-sized” industrial chocolates don’t even stand a chance!

    Pumpkin Soup With Apple And Spices

    As with all pumpkin recipes, you’ll want to get a pie pumpkin for this one (unfortunately, it’s really not an option for recycling your Jack-o-lantern: carving pumpkins taste pretty gross).

    Since you’ll be pureeing it all anyway, you can also substitute canned pumpkin for fresh: as a general rule, 2 cups of chopped fresh pumpkin = 1 cup canned, so you’d want 3 cups of canned pumpkin (about 2 cans) for the full recipe.

    Because it’s so colorful and holiday-appropriate, this soup would be a perfect side dish for a pre-trick-or-treat dinner (maybe with some chicken wings (or nuggets!) or mini-meatloaves).

    There’s a lot to be said for giving kids the experience of trick-or-treating and letting them enjoy the candy as part of a special occasion, but that doesn’t mean their pre-candy meal also has to be junk food!

    After filling up on real food at dinner, they’ll be able to make smarter choices about how much candy they really want to eat, and they won’t be tempted to gorge on it just because they’re hungry.
