Pumpkin and Tomato Soup with Bacon
6 servings
40 minutes
Pumpkin and tomato soup with bacon is a harmonious blend of the gentle sweetness of pumpkin and the tart freshness of tomatoes, complemented by the spicy aroma of thyme and curry. This dish originates from American cuisine, where the autumn harvest of pumpkin inspires the creation of warming soups. The creamy texture is provided by cream, while chicken broth adds depth of flavor. The white part of leeks and garlic add savory notes, and crispy bacon completes the composition with a salty, rich touch. Perfect for a cozy family dinner or an autumn feast. Served hot with slices of fresh bread that can be dipped into this aromatic soup. The dish warms and delights with its taste, making it a wonderful choice for cool evenings.
