Things You'll Need:
- Tomato soup
- Sour cream
- Milk
- Ziplock bag
- toothpick
- green food coloring
- bowls and spoons
- scissors
- An appetite!
-
Step 1
Follow the directions on the soup can to heat up your favorite tomato soup. Make sure it's slightly hotter than you'd normally eat it, so that it doesn't get too cold while you're making the webs.
-
Step 2
Once its done, pour the soup into the serving bowls, and cover with a paper towel or something to keep the heat in.
-
Step 3
Using a separate bowl, mix a half cup of sour cream with a splash of milk until it's thinned out a little bit. You're looking for a consistency that's easy to squeeze from a tube, but not runny. Add enough green food coloring to turn the sour cream mixture a ghostly green.
-
Step 4
Scoop the sour cream mixture into a zip lock bag, seal it with all the air removed, and push the mixture into the very bottom of the bag, preferably all towards one corner. Snip off a tiny bit of the corner to create a hole for piping the mixture out of the bag.
-
Step 5
Remove the paper towel from a bowl, and squeeze the sour cream mixture slowly in circles onto the surface of the soup, being sure not to let the tip touch the soup itself. Start at the outside of the bowl, and work in smaller and smaller circles as you reach the center.
-
Step 6
Take a toothpick and starting at the center, drag the toothpick through the soup and sour cream mixture all the way out to the edge to pull on the circles, creating the web look. Continue, spacing the lines out from the center at about an inch from each other at the top of the bowl.
Sprinkle lightly with black pepper to finish off the look, and serve hot.
