Total
Yield 4 bowls
Now then, this spicy pumpkin and bacon soup doesn't need to be spicy, you can always leave that bit out at the end if you so desire. As before, we made ours in a Tefal Easy Soup but you can just chuck it all in a pan and blend it after half an hour. You don't need anything fancy here! But they are good, mind.
Ingredients
- 500g of finely chopped pumpkin
- 100g of chopped white onion
- 75g of chopped cooked bacon
- 1tsp each of garlic and ginger paste
- 500ml of chicken stock
- 1 tsp of chilli flakes
Instructions
- if using a pan, chuck everything in (save for some of the bacon) and simmer for about twenty minutes or until the pumpkin is soft
- blend and top with chilli sauce and bacon bits
Of course, if you're using the Tefal Easy Soup - chuck it in, press the soup button, it'll blend when it's ready!
Notes
Recipe
- as I mentioned, you can swap pumpkin for butternut squash, and I dare say it will be easier to peel
- you can buy pre-chopped pumpkin and butternut squash in most supermarkets, you lazy cow
