Posted for ZWT. A recipe from NZ chef Alison Holst which we've made several times and loved. Kumera is the Maori word for sweet potato

Categories     Yam/Sweet Potato

Time 40m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

500 g pumpkin or 500 g butternut squash
3 slices bacon
2 tablespoons butter
2 onions, finely chopped
2 garlic cloves, minced
1 teaspoon curry powder
1 medium kumara, cut into 5cm/2-inch cubes
2 cups water
extra water, milk or cream, if needed
salt and pepper

Steps:

  • Peel the pumpkin, remove the seeds and cut into 5cm/2" cubes. Cut bacon into short strips.
  • Brown bacon over moderate heat in a large soup pot adding some of the butter if the bacon looks like sticking. Remove half the bacon and set aside to use as a garnish. Add the remaining buter, onions, garlic and curry powder and cook till the onion is lightly browned and transluscent. Add the pumpkin, kumera and water. Cover the put and cook till the pumpkin and kumera are tender.
  • Puree soup in a food processor or blender, or mash the vegies. Thin with a bit of water, milk or cream if needed and season to taste.
  • Serve, topped with the reserved bacon.

I accidentally used sweet potatoes instead of kumara, but the soup still turned out great!

The soup was a bit bland for my taste. I added some salt and pepper, and it was much better.

I found that the soup was a bit too thick for my taste, so I added a little bit of water to thin it out.

I'm not a big fan of bacon, so I omitted it from my soup. It was still delicious!

This soup is a great way to use up leftover pumpkin and kumara. It's also a great way to get your kids to eat their vegetables.

This curried pumpkin, kumara, and bacon soup is an absolute delight! The flavors are incredibly rich and satisfying, with the perfect balance of sweet, savory, and spicy. I especially love the addition of bacon, which adds a smoky and crispy texture
