WHat a great soup! I like the spooky Halloween touches :) Thanks for entering the No Waste Food Challenge!
IT looks beautifully creamy! I haven't used butterbeans for ages - I think they sometimes get forgotten about but I'm thinking of getting some soon now.
Love soup. One of my favourite meals. Comfy and heart warming meal. Thank you for sharing.

That's gorgeous and I think the idea of using pumpkin is wonderful. That's very much for sharing with MLLA.
What a fantastic soup - I nearly always use BNS in place of pumpkin so good to see some recipes for it, where it is given the pride of place!
Thanks for sharing with #creditcrunchmunch
