Roast Kumera and Pumpkin soup with crispy bacon

Roast pumpkin and kumera in a little olive oil to stop it sticking to the roasting dish. Roast for about 1/2 hour and then add half head of garlic still in skin.
when everything has started to caramilise add pumpkin and kumera to a big pot and cover with chicken or vege stock. Squeeze in roasted garlic and simmer for 1/2 hour. While simmering cook some steaky bacon till crispy, then crumbly bacon when cool.
When the soup has simmered. blend till smooth and serve with bacon crumbled ontop.
This is a great one, DH who doesn't like pumpkin loves this soup.

Pumpkin soup

3/4 of a pumpkin
1 onion finely chopped
1 teaspoon of finly chopped ginger
2 cloves of crushed garlic
2-3 slices of bacon chopped
chicken stock

In a large saucepan melt a generous knob of butter with a splash of oil. Cook onion, ginger, garlic and bacon until onion is clear. Add pumpkin and stir in. Let it soak up a little of the flavours, then add enough chicken stock (I just use two oxo cubes) to cover pumpkin. Let simmer till pumpkins cooked through.

Blend with a stickmixer until smooth and it should thicken up, otherwise a wee bit more heating will do this.

The ginger and bacon add such GREAT flavour to it!]]> Fri, 11 Mar 2011 17:15:59 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=38327&PID=1283383&title=soups#1283383 <![CDATA[soups : pea and ham - I make it in the...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=38327&PID=1282456&title=soups#1282456 Author: SpecialK

pea and ham - I make it in the crockpot.

2 chopped onion
2 chopped carrots
2 chopped celery sticks
1 smoked bacon hock
1.5 cups dried peas
1-2 peeled chopped potatoes
2 bay leaves
enough water to cover the whole lot in the crockpot, cook on low for about 10 hours. Take the bacon hock out, puree the rest (I use a whizz stick thingy, don't bother taking it out of the crockpot), shred the meat off the hock and add to soup.

the roast veggie soups sound yum!

Roasted vege soup

Roast 2 carrots, 1 parsnip, 800g pumpkin, 350g kumara, 1 red capsicum, 2 onions and garlic all chopped to similar sized pieces for an hour and a half at 180 degrees.  Remove the capsicum after about an hour.

Puree veges until smooth adding 3 cups of vege or chicken stock as you go. 

Roast kumara soup

800g golden or orange kumara peeled and chopped in to similar sized pieces, 1 red onion quartered, 1 red capsicum seeded and quartered, 2 large cloves garlic, chicken stock, water, salt and pepper.

Preheat oven to 200 degrees.  Place kumara, onion, capsicum, garlic in roasting pan and bake for approx 40 mins.  Blend with two cups chicken stock, 2 cups water until puree consistency.  Season to taste.
