The Festival of Samhain marked the end of the Celtic year and the beginning of the new one and as such can be seen to the equivalent of New Year’s Eve. This morning the children were busy preparing and chopping vegetables as we got ready for the Samhain feast. The sound of chopping was soon replaced by the wonderful smell of brown bread and pumpkin soup.
Our pumpkin soup was so popular that we have to share the recipe. The children really enjoyed the pumpkin soup with our homemade brown bread.
