If you’re looking to explore the savory side of smoked pumpkin instead of the sweet (like we did with the smoked pumpkin pie), soup is a great start, especially as fall kicks into full gear. I’ve made this soup for a couple of years now and it usually disappears quickly.
Ingredients
- 1 lb bacon (fried and chopped up)
- 6 cups chicken stock
- 1 1/2 tsp salt
- 4 cups smoked pumpkin, pureed
- 1 tsp chopped fresh parsley
- 1 cup chopped onion
- 1/2 tsp chopped fresh thyme
- 1 clove garlic, minced
- 1/2 cup heavy whipping cream
- 5 whole black peppercorns
Servings: servings
Instructions
- Heat the stock, salt, pumpkin, thyme, garlic, bacon and peppercorns to a boil.
- Reduce the heat and let the soup simmer uncovered for an hour, stirring occasionally.
- Add in the cream. Stir the soup with a spoon until it’s blended evenly.
- Ladle the soup into bowls and garnish with fresh parsley.
