So I know Halloween isn’t a day with a huge meal tradition like xmas or tday, but I’m having some dear friends stay with me that weekend and I would love to cook up something Halloweeny. So I’m curious, do any of you have any go-to meals/dishes for Halloween? No real requirements here, it can be outright spooky/gross or just autumn themed, and anything in between. Looking mostly for savory ideas, as the treats will be flowing already. I did the pinterest thing but love sourcing from communities like this. Thanks in advance for any thoughts/ideas!!

        Not much, but I do recommend using enough onions, and maybe a carrot. Adding some ginger also adds.

          The above is sound advice. I’d like to add a generous amount of butter to the list - it adds flavour and smoothness.
          Speaking of which, you also may want to add one small potato per pumpkin, though I wouldn’t experiment with this until the potato-less soup is in a satisfactory state.

          Also, try using a high-quality vegetable broth instead of salt for seasoning. Go easy on the other spices then.
