Pumpkin and Blue Cheese Soup

A tangy take on your usual pumpkin soup that is loaded with blue cheese and just a hint of bacon. Inspired by Kate Nash!

Ingredients

  • 3 Strips Bacon
  • 1 Large Onion
  • 2 Carrots
  • 2 Cloves Garlic
  • 2 Pounds Raw pumpkin flesh chopped
  • Chicken or Veggie Stock
  • Nutmeg
  • Cinnamon
  • 8 Ounces Blue Cheese

Instructions

  • Chop and cook 3 strips of bacon until crispy. Remove from pot, but keep the rendered fat. (you can remove some if it looks like too much). In the bacon fat, saute a diced large carrot and onion. When they start to get some brown color, add a few cloves of chopped garlic. Next fill the pot with chopped up pumpkin. Add in stock just to cover the pumpkin and simmer until the pumpkin is tender and a fork goes through easily. Puree with an immersion blender. Add a tiny bit of nutmeg and cinnamon. Very small amount! Lastly, stir in about 8 oz of a nice pungent blue cheese. Serve and top with the bacon.
