Curried Pumpkin & Sweet Potato Soup

Curried Pumpkin & Sweet Potato Soup

600 grams pumpkin, peeled and chopped
300 grams sweet potato, chopped
1 tablespoon oil or butter
1 large onion, diced
3 cloves garlic, crushed
2 rashers bacon, diced
1/2 teaspoon curry powder
1/2 teaspoon ginger
Salt and pepper to taste

Heat oil in a large pot and cook the onion, garlic, bacon and spices. When the onion is soft and transparent, add the pumpkin and sweet potato and enough water to just cover the vegetables.

Bring the soup to the boil and let it simmer until the pumpkin and sweet potato are soft, then blend it with an immersion blender. Taste it, season with salt and pepper and add more spice as you like (don't be limited to just ginger and curry powder, you could try tumeric, coriander, cumin, chilli, etc.).
