Entertain your friends this Halloween with a bell pepper bowl filled with this vegetable protein packed soup. The moment they take the head off, it will be as if they are dining on Frankenstein Brains {considered a delicacy in some parts of this world}.
Each slurp will be filled with satisfaction and delight. No one ever knew that their vegetables could taste this freakishly good!
The severed fingers add such a creepy yet classy touch doesn’t it? Your friends will thank you for it.

I hope that’s not your finger:-( Very cute!
HA! No, these are store bought fingers Joan 😉
I can’t get those fingers out of my head- they are so creepy! I love the little frankenstein bowls with the olives – so awesome!
Brains never looked so tasty!
xxxx
This is so cute! I love the little olive bolts! =)
Rackn frackin… 🙂
Great idea! Talk about scaring your company.
haha love this idea of turning a pepper into frankensteins head, you have a seriously amazing imagination!
Oh my God, that finger! I love the idea of serving soupo in a green pepper!
Is the finger purchased or made?
The finger is definitely purchased. I believe I bought them at the 99 cent store. Feel free to purchase them and serve with the soup 🙂
Eww, those fingers are super gross! (and, well, super awesome, fine. ;p)
Of what is that Finger made, and how? ^^
ewwww.. i am amazed at your creativity every single time! be sure of this, that i will be sending my kids when i have some to aunt caras during halloween!
Nice recipe but one could also cook steam and mash the cauliflower or make soup with it and the rest of the ingredients and not bake the entire dish (Bell pepper).. No need to destroy any more nutrients and minerals!! RAW FOODS RULE!! Still love the recipe!
You are right, Devon! This would be great raw too!!
Love this! The finger poking out is so perfect 🙂
That finger is utterly disgusting/awesome.
I’m so glad to hear that the finger is the popular part of the post! It is rather amazing, isn’t it?? 😉
I couldn’t tell what the finger was on my phone. Had to log onto the compute. Gross. The finger, not the soup. Yum on the soup 😉
hehehehe. My work here is done 🙂
You crack me up. Love the mummies the other day, too. : ) Thanks for the smiles. And the very visually satisfying posts.
