Spooky Halloween Monster Mash Soup

Recipe Description

I am always looking for new Halloween recipes to make with my kids at this time of year. One recipe that we all love is this Spooky Halloween Monster Mash Soup  which I make using my favorite red soup and little eyeballs made from sushi rice! 

Start by heating up your soup. As it heats, cook the sushi rice. Take ½ a nori sheet and use scissors to cut out circular shapes for eyes. When the rice has cooled, roll portions of it into balls and place the nori eyeballs on top. To support the eyeballs in the soup, place a small ramekin or dipping bowl upside down in the center of your soup bowl before adding the soup. The small bowl will act as an invisible shelf if needed. Or you can use zucchini noodles in the soup below each rice eyeball and they will keep the eyeballs on the surface of the soup. 

To make the Spooky Halloween Monster Mash Soup you will need the following ingredients:
