Lovely pumpkin soup and some pumpkin carving tips!

Hello!

As halloween is approaching, I have to admit that I am getting very excited! This might be because we are almost about to add the new Halloween ecard to the website.

Now that the kids are older, we don't do trick or treating or any of the other halloween parties that we used to. This does not stop me from carving a pumpkin or two though! I loved keeping this tradition going and each year I carve 2 or 3 to light up with candles on our doorstep, in our garden and sometimes in the house too. You can make them last up to 10 days if you soak the carved carcass in beach for 8 hours and keep spraying them with a mild bleach solution. One of the reasons I love to keep this tradition going is because I love making pumpkin soup with the carved flesh. I found this great recipe that you might like - take a look here.

Its really delicious. If you try it then please do let me know what you think and send me your top tips to share with other readers!
