Pumpkin and leek soup

Now we can feel a bit more that the autumn is coming. It's been quite hot lately but soon I think the season of rain, darkness and coldness is coming. Then you need something to make you nice and warm. Here is a recipe that I tried out for the first time today.

Pumpkin and leek soup
Pumpkin (peeled and chopped)
Leek
Onion
Garlic
Ground cumin
Chili powder
Chicken stock
Coconut milk
Bacon (fried)

Sauté the onion in cooking fat for a few minutes. Stir frequently to prevent from burning.
Add the garlic and the leek. Cook for approximately 3-4 minutes. Sprinkle in the cumin and the chili powder. Add the chicken stock and the pumpkin. Bring to the boil and let it simmer for 10-15 minutes. Remove the soup from the heat and mix in the coconut milk. Season with salt and pepper. Puree the soup with a blender. After pureeing add in the bacon pieces and serve.


Try it! It is delicious!
