Categories     Squash

Yield 8-10 people

Number Of Ingredients 9

500g bacon bones (or a ham hock),
1 chopped onion,
a few chopped cloves of garlic,
a teaspoon of whole allspice,
some bay leaves
3L of water.
3 Large spuds (peeled & chopped),
1kg pumpkin (I use butternut - peeled & chopped),
1 Tablespoon paprika

Steps:

  • In a saucepan Combine ham hock, onion, garlic, whole allspice, bay leaves and water. Simmer it for ages = yummo bacon stock. Get rid of the stock flavourings (i.e. the chunky bits) but don't throw out the liquid - that's the start of your soup! Add spuds, pumpkin (I use butternut - peeled & chopped), paprika. Simmer until they're collapsing Puree (hand-held blender is fine)
