It’s the weekend before Halloween, and every grocer on the island is brimming with pumpkins.
Coincidence? Of course not!
It’s the perfect time for your kids to get their hands dirty and carve their own Jack-o’-Lanterns. But if you’re wondering what to do with all that pumpkin filling, we’ve got your back.
We teamed up with Mandolina Bakes to give you a quick, simple and tasty recipe for Pumpkin Soup that will fill those hungry bellies once they’ve finished their works of art. Tried, tested and approved by her two adorable kiddos!
