I am sooooo excited because I’ve just posted my very first YouTube video! I’ve wanted to start a YouTube channel for a long time and finally went for it. Now I’m a YouTube addict! My friend Kevin Gowdy (founder of Momentary Art) filmed while I cooked up a fancy fall soup for you guys!
Make sure you subscribe to my channel because I plan on posting more videos and tutorials in the future!
Don’t get me wrong, I LOVE candy (especially gummy candy), but this year I though it would be fun to do a Healthy Halloween recipe on the savory side! Since Halloween tends to have an unhealthy reputation, I’m changing it up with a fun Halloween recipe, cooked inside of a pumpkin, with my favorite Dole Power Up Greens Baby Kale! I hope you love my Healthy Halloween recipe!
Roasted Pumpkin Soup
One medium cheese or cinderella pumpkin
1 cup Dole Power Up Greens Baby Kale
2 sprigs fresh rosemary
4 fresh sage leaves
2 green onions, chopped
1 clove garlic
1 box vegetable stock
1/4 cup grated parmesan cheese
salt to taste
Preheat the oven to 400°F. Line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside. Using a serrated knife, cut a circle around the stem of the pumpkin (just like caving a pumpkin). Remove the top of the pumpkin and scoop out the seeds and stringy pieces. Place the green onions, rosemary, sage, garlic, and baby kale inside of the pumpkin. Pour vegetable broth into the pumpkin and add salt to taste. Add the grated parmesan cheese and cover with the lid of the pumpkin. Transfer the filled pumpkin to the lined baking sheet and roast in the oven for 1.5 to 2 hours or until the exterior of the pumpkin is golden brown and shiny. Remove the pumpkin from the oven and carefully take off the lid. Scoop a few spoonfuls of kale, onions, and broth along with some of the pumpkin flesh from the inside. Place in a bowl and top with a ladleful of broth. Top your soup with freshly grated parmesan cheese!
I hope you have a happy & healthy Halloween!

October 29, 2014 at 10:45 am (10 years ago)Love pumpkin season! My best halloween costume was from middle school – I remember I wanted to be princess Jasmine but we couldn’t find a costume so my mom made it! It was the first and last time she ever made a halloween costume but I cherished it and wore it for MONTHS! (Yeah, I was a weird kid 😉

October 29, 2014 at 10:50 am (10 years ago)Where I went to school we have black squirrels all over campus. We were actually known for it. So when I was a senior I dressed up as a cute black squirrel complete with a huge handmade tail and matching ears. It was hilarious but super cute at the same time because everyone knew what I was right away!

Amy Perry
October 29, 2014 at 1:53 pm (10 years ago)When I was in 5th grade, I was a present. My mother covered a large cardboard box with wrapping paper that had balloons on it and glued a giant bow to a headband. It was so cool, except I couldn’t walk up stairs since the box went past my knees, so I took a picture of myself in the costume and took that to school instead of wearing the costume.
Catherine
October 29, 2014 at 4:08 pm (10 years ago)I’m laughing so hard at your story, Amy! I was a present for Halloween when I was about 10 years old, and I fell while trick-or-treatig and couldn’t get up! My mom still loves telling that story hahahaha!
