Dracula Soup
(aka creamy tomato soup)
2 cloves minced garlic (or more)
1 tbsp. butter
1 tbsp. flour
1 ½ cups 1% Low-fat milk or Fat-free Half & Half
1 can (14 oz.) crushed tomatoes (pureed)
1 can (14.5 oz) low sodium chicken broth
1 tsp. garlic powder
1 tsp. oregano
1 tsp. basil
Sautee garlic with butter until all the butter is melted. Stir in flour until mixed well. Add milk and cook over medium heat until thickened and bubbly, then cook one minute more. Add the pureed tomatoes, chicken broth, and spices. Bring to a boil and serve when it is warm.
Spider Sandwiches
2 slices whole wheat bread
1 ounce slice of cheddar or other cheese
1 ounce Creta Farms Black Forest Ham, cut into strips
2 raisins or olives
Circle cookie cutter
Start preparing your spider sandwiches by cutting the bread and cheese into circles using the cookie cutter.
Then in a frying pan, make a grilled cheese sandwich. Heat until cheese is melted.
Remove from the pan and insert 4 strips of ham on each side of the sandwich to stick out like spider legs.
Serve with “Dracula Soup.”
