Serves/Makes: 6 | Ready In: 30-60 minutes
Ingredients:
6 slices bacon, chopped
1 large onion, finely diced
2 teaspoons crushed garlic
1 1/2 pound pumpkin, peeled and chopped
2 large potatoes, peeled and chopped
3 cups chicken stock
1/2 cup finely chopped fresh herbs such as oregano or rosemary
1/2 cup heavy cream
salt and pepper, to taste
sour cream to serve, optional
Directions:
Cook the bacon in a large saucepan over medium heat. When browned, remove the bacon with a slotted spoon and let drain on paper toweling.
Add the onion and garlic to the pan. Cook, stirring frequently, for 3 minutes or until the onion is soft.
Add the pumpkin and potatoes to the pan. Cook, stirring occasionally, for 5 minutes.
Add the stock and bring the soup to a boil. Reduce the heat to a simmer, cover the pan, and cook for 20 minutes or until the vegetables are tender.
Use a hand blender or transfer the soup to a standard blender (let it cool slightly first) and puree until smooth.
Add the bacon, fresh herbs, and cream to the soup. Heat through but do not let the soup boil. Adjust the seasoning as needed with salt and pepper.
Divide the soup between individual serving bowls. Garnish each serving with sour cream.
