WITCH'S BREW STEW RECIPE
So yes, we had lots of fun witch-themed Halloween foods, but the main dish was this delicious Witch's Brew Stew. Witch, I mean which if I'm totally honest, was actually a Halloween soup. Because fall soups are so delicious.
This Wild Rice and Chicken Soup freezes really well, so make it before your party and reheat it when you are ready to serve it. Or throw it in the slow cooker the day of the party to thaw until you are ready to eat.
HOW TO SERVE THE WITCH'S BREW STEW
For extra festiveness, serve this soup out a cauldron!
As a warning, be sure your cauldron is food safe and solid like this inexpensive cauldron from Amazon. I learned this the hard way when as I was transferring the soup into the cauldron, I noticed there was a small hole at the bottom. Luckily, setting the cauldron on a plate solved the problem, but it could have been worse!
Not all cauldrons are created equal. Be sure you get a food-safe cauldron.

(I didn't add the celery because it wasn't in the ingredients list. I didn't see it until the 2nd instruction)
I made this for my families Hocus Pocus 2 viewing party last night. It was very simple to make and all the kids complemented it. Even my husband who's anti soup said it was good. I did triple the recipe because with 3 teenage boys I never know how much they're eat.
I didn't use the cauldron because I couldn't find a food safe one locally but I think that would've been adorable.

I made the Witches Brew Soup and it was delicious. I had been looking for this recipe for ages as it was on the back of Uncle Ben's rice years ago when I was younger. This soup did not disappoint. I should have read through the instructions because it mentioned adding celery but was not listed in the ingredients. The celery I had wasn't any good but the soup was perfectly delicious anyway. This soup is so quick and easy you can make it last minute and think you spent all day on it. Going to heat some up right now.
