Halloween Soup

Author Notes: I created this soup back when my children were young, I was working too many hours, and they wanted to go Trick-or-Treating on a weeknight. They were delighted with the spooky colors; I was happy with how quickly it came together. And it's always fun to customize your dinner! If you use vegetable broth, this soup is appropriate for vegetarians. —Windischgirl
