Halloween time brings out the ghouls and goblins, the witches and warlocks, the cats and the hats. It is a time where treats and tricks are strategically tucked into corners and spider webs strewn across ceilings. It is a time when tacky is cool and overboard is impossible. Above all Halloween ignites a little creativity in all of us. So what can one do to make their Halloween or fall parties memorable? It’s all in the presentation.

Whether you’re cooking for two or thirty-two, pumpkin bowls filled with pumpkin soup are a tasty way to serve up some of the season's spirit. Make a special trip to a pumpkin patch to select six of the finest pumpkins, then treat your guests to a feast for the eyes and the tummy.
