ghosts in the p.o. box & purple soup


It's Halloween. 
My friends and I already dressed up and went out on Saturday. I brought back Effie Trinket for that night out (I even won $50 for my costume).  Since the festivities were finished I decided to stay home and hunker down with The Avengers and have fun cooking. 

Spooky Netflix package brought me The Avengers & Mom sent a fun card!
What's more fun than cooking something average, like soup, in a fabulous color?!  I love buying the purple cauliflower at the farmers market but I normally just add it to pasta or steam it as a side. I've been loving warm hearty soups with the cold rainy weather. The epiphany of making cauliflower cheese soup with my purple cauliflower was very exciting. I used a mash-up of cream of vegetable & cheese soup from my Better Homes and Gardens Cookbook.

Lunch is served. Purple soup with grilled cheese & sungold tomatoes. 

The best news of this colorful experiment.... It was sooo tasty!
