In a delightful show of creativity and sustainability, gardening club has turned post-Halloween squashes into a heartwarming culinary delight: homemade soup. Inspired by the innovative efforts of the charity Hubbub’s ‘Eat Your Pumpkin’ campaign, students decided to repurpose pumpkins and squashes rather than letting them go in the bin, like 15.8 million other pumpkins do every Halloween.
Together, they harvested, sliced, and cooked these forgotten vegetables, transforming them into flavorful soups that not only warm the stomach but also highlight the power of resourcefulness.
