PUMPKIN (SQUASH), LEEK, BEAN AND BACON SOUP
I was tired of the pumpkin and leek staring at me -- asking me to do something with them -- so I did this. A recipe card from the green grocer gave me a few hints, but I consider this to be my recipe. It's a great warmer in winter, and not too bad served at room temperature. The ingredient amounts are forgiving, so don't be afraid to be flexible. If you want a vegetarian result, omit the bacon and use vegetable stock. Cream can also be omitted. The chili flakes make the dish. *Note: If you can get tinned/canned pumpkin, you can use three 15-ounce tins to replace the chopped pumpkin. If you do this, you can add the tinned pumpkin when you add the cream.

Tips:
- Choose the right pumpkin: Look for a small, sugar pumpkin with a deep orange color. This type of pumpkin will be sweeter and have a more tender flesh.
- Roast the pumpkin first: Roasting the pumpkin before adding it to the soup will help to bring out its natural sweetness and flavor.
- Use a good quality bacon: The bacon is one of the main flavors in this soup, so it's important to use a good quality bacon that you enjoy the taste of.
- Don't overcook the soup: The soup should be cooked until the vegetables are tender, but not mushy. Overcooked soup will lose its flavor and texture.
- Season the soup to taste: Add salt, pepper, and other spices to taste. You can also add a splash of cream or milk for a richer flavor.
- Garnish with fresh herbs: Fresh herbs such as parsley, cilantro, or thyme can add a pop of color and flavor to the soup.
Conclusion:
Pumpkin soup with white beans and bacon is a delicious and hearty soup that is perfect for a fall or winter meal. It is easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. With its sweet and savory flavors, this soup is sure to be a hit with your family and friends.
