Ingredients:
- 6 slices of bacon, cooked to the just crisp stage and crumbled(in m icrowave on paper towels for 3 to 4 minutes)
- salt to taste
Directions:
- For fresh pumpkin:
- Wash the exterior of the pumpkin in cool or warm water, no soap.
- Cut the pumpkin in half and scrape the insides.
- I find a heavy ice cream scoop works great for this.
- Remove the stem, and put the pumpkin into a microwaveable.
- You may need to cut the pumpkin further to make it fit but try to keep in as big a piece as possible for ease of removing the pumpkin meat.
- Put a couple of inches of water in the bowl, cover it, and put in the microwave
- Cook the pumpkin until soft, usually anywhere from 15 to 25 minutes depending on size.
- Soup:
- In large soup pot, Saute onions, garlic, celery in butter until tender.
- Add stock,pumpkin and carrots and bring to a boil.
- Lower heat and cook until carrots are tender, about 20 minutes.
- Puree soup in small batches in blender or food processor until smooth.
- Return to pot and add thyme, cumin, parsley, and cracked pepper and bring to another boil.
- Lower heat to low, stir in half and half,green onions, and bacon and season with salt to taste.
- Continue to cook on low heat for another 10 to 15 minutes.
- Stir in heavy cream.
- Spoon into individual soup bowls or in soup tureen.
- Top with a little sour cream and roasted pumpkin seeds or additional green onions and bacon bits.
