Spooky Halloween Monster Mash Soup

Directions

1. Warm your chosen soup on the stove or in the microwave—whatever works best for you.
2. Rinse the sushi rice in a strainer under cold water until the water runs clear.
3. In a medium saucepan, combine the uncooked rice with 1 cup of water and bring to a full boil.
4. Turn the heat down to the lowest setting, cover the pot, and let the rice cook for 20 minutes.
5. While the rice is cooking, use kitchen scissors to cut the nori sheet into small circles.
6. Put the nori circles aside for later.
7. When the rice is tender and fluffy, give it a stir with a fork, then transfer it to a bowl to cool until you can handle it.
8. Take small amounts of rice in your palm, squeeze gently, and shape into balls. Press a nori circle into the center of each ball to create the 'pupil'.
9. To keep the eyeballs above the soup, place a small ramekin or dip bowl upside down in the middle of the serving bowl before pouring in the soup. This acts as a hidden shelf. If you're using spiralized zucchini noodles, you can skip the bowl because the noodles will hold the eyeballs up.
10. Drizzle Sriracha over the soup (leave it out if children will be eating), then arrange the rice eyeballs on top.
11. Add any final spooky touches and serve!
