PUMPKIN WITH WHITE BEANS & BACON
Steps:
- Cook the bacon over medium heat until crisp, 6 to 8 minutes. Transfer to a plate with a slotted spoon; let cool, then break into pieces. Reserve the skillet.
- Add the pumpkin to the drippings in the skillet; cook, stirring occasionally, until browned, 5 to 7 minutes. Add the broth, oregano, ½ teaspoon salt, and ¼ teaspoon pepper. Cover and cook, stirring occasionally, until the pumpkin is tender, 6 to 8 minutes more. Add the beans and vinegar and heat through, 2 minutes. Top with the bacon.
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.

Steps:
- Heat oil in a dutch oven or large, deep saucepan that can hold all the ingredients.
- Lightly fry the chopped bacon. Remove and set aside. If the bacon has released a lot of fat, drain off as much as you wish.
- Reheat the remaining oil/bacon fat. Add sliced leek and onion and crushed garlic, and saute until tender.
- Add chopped pumpkin and saute for five minutes, stirring frequently.
- Add stock, beans, bacon, tarragon, thyme and chili flakes.
- Bring to a boil, then lower heat and simmer uncovered for 20 minutes, or until pumpkin is fork tender.
- Add 1/4 cup parsley.
- Zap the cooked mixture with a stab blender or buzz up in a food processor. Or crush with a potato masher. The choice depends on your consistency preferences.
- Stir in cream (if used), and season with salt and pepper to taste. Reheat gently.
- Ladle into bowls and garnish with sour cream and additional parsley or coriander (cilantro).
