Pumpkin, bacon and sage soup

  • 1 small Hokaido or butternut pumpkin (around 1 kg of flesh)
  • 1 medium onion
  • 3 cloves of garlic
  • 100 g of lentils cooked in salted water
  • 4 slices of bacon
  • 1 sprig of sage
  • 1 table spoon of olive oil
  • a pinch of sea salt
  1. Roast the pumpkin, onion and garlic. Sprinkle with the sal and drizzle with the olive oil.
  2. Cook the bacon in a pan or tray till crispy and let it rest in a paper towel to absorb the excess fat.
  3. Blend all other ingredients with enough water to cover.
  4. Serve with chopped sage and bacon

If you have a big pumpkin you can freeze the excess. Peel and dice it in small cubes so it is easier to use. I place them in small bags. Each bag is a portion.
