  • Edible Squash Bowl
To make an edible bowl out of squash look for squash that's round. Spaghetti squash and pumpkins are great choices. Here are the steps:
Step 1. Cut the top third of the squash off, peel, dice, and use this part for soup.
Step 2. Deseed and wash the remaining squash, transforming it into a "bowl."
Step 3. Dry it well, oil generously, and bake the "bowl" at 390°F (200°C) for about 30-40 minutes or until soft. Serve the cream of squash soup inside the bowl.
