If you're like me and... how shall I put this... artistically challenged (see my hilarious attempt at Halloween Skeletons as a prime example), then this is most definitely the Halloween recipe for you!

Quick, easy, tasty and fun, this blood tomato soup with cheesy witches fingers, ticks all the boxes, and I guarantee your kids will be impressed.

Halloween Blood Soup with Cheesy Witches Fingers

This lovely thick tomato soup, made with fresh tomatoes and seasoned with onions, garlic, celery and bay leaves would make a perfect Halloween lunch especially, if you served it from a big black witches cauldron.

The witches fingers in particular, are really easy to make. Just halve some ciabatta rolls, sprinkle with grated mozzarella and italian herb seasoning, toast and then cut into 'fingers', adding the red pepper witches 'nails' before serving.

There's not a lot that can go wrong. If I can manage it, you certainly can...and probably much better!
