Pumpkin Soup

Place pumpkin, onion and stock cube in a saucepan with water. Cover with lid and bring to boil. When boiling, remove the lid and cook until pumpkin is soft.

When the soup is cooked, blend vegetables and remaining liquid until smooth.

Place diced bacon in non-stick pan and cook, stirring until crunchy.

Return soup to saucepan, add cream, and gently heat (do not boil).

Place your pumpkin soup in serving bowls and sprinkle with the bacon, parsley and salt and pepper to serve.
