I found this dish to be bitter so added a small spoon of sugar which helped slightly but overall Was very dissapointed. It was bland and soupy. I added some pan fried chicken breast chunks and chorizo to my husbands portion and he thought the dinner was absolutely delicious !!!

Surprisingly good for something so simple! I made a vegetarian version using a soy 'bacon', left out the parsley and added a can of cannellinni beans to give it a protein boost. I did find it easier to fry off the components separately then combine them in another pot, though. made for a bit more washing up but meant the pumpkin did actually get some caramelisation. The soup has a lovely, rich, smokey flavour. Will definitely make this again.

I use one cup of beef stock, and add a sliced chorizo, and a half tsp of both thyme and sage. I cooked this in puff pastry as a pie, and served with a dollop of whole grain mustard. I've now made this recipe about ten times and my meatasaurus "no hippy food" husband eats it and even admits that its pretty delicious despite it having pumpkin and kale- both of which are his cryptonite. It freezes well as a pie, and is good both hot and cold. Bravo!

I made this with squash, and savoy cabbage (couldn't get hold of any kale) and dried parsley instead of fresh. It's a light but warming stew, perfect when you're trying to eat healthily. I seasoned with plenty of pepper and found that I didn't need any salt because of the bacon.

Very tasty - even one of my more carnivorous friends really enjoyed this.

Very yummy! Used smoked bacon and added paprika and crushed garlic at the frying shallot stage. We put in chunks of potato too so we could have it without bread. Used only a small butternut squash and two medium potatoes chopped into big chunks, added 800ml stock and found that a bit much. Might try 600ml next time, although it was great; bit like a very chunky soup! Was enough for three. Popped it all on before going out for a cold run, very nice to come back to! Scrummy.

Made this twice now, 1st with kale and second with a whole bag of fresh spinach with a handful of bulgur wheat. Both were delicious. I whizzed it for my 2 1/2 who I thought might be put off with the very green colour, but she had a whole bowl of it.
One of my favourite quick and easy winter warm up lunch.

Due to a lucky mistake, I put mint instead of parsley. Heavenly!

Wow well impressed with this one ... left it cook a bit too long and should probably have chopped the kale even finer but will be doing this one again

Great tasting little recipe. Added garlic, paprika, pepper and spicy chorizo with 500ml of chicken stock. Very tasty and definately going into my cookbook!

Not a massive fan of this recipe. Mainly because there just seemed to be too much kale, and the bacon had pretty much disintigrated. Won't be making it again

One of my favourite recipes quick and simple but full of flavour and healthy too.

Made last night and it was so scrummy! Everybody loved it! Added spinach to it aswell :-)

Quite surprising. Really excellent.

This is really nice. I also tried it blended, which blended the flavours and, in my opinion, enhanced the dish considerable. You can still identify the distinct flavours, but looks and tastes much nicer.

one of the most disappointing meals I've ever cooked espeacially after the amount of effort that went into the meal

Really tasty. I would definitely recommend this one!

I was looking for a recipe to use up the final leftovers pumpkin after Halloween and this was a lovely found and very tasty. Great flavours and very comforting. Will definitely do it again using squash.

Disappointing and bland :(

Wonderful combination...Measures need clarifying as all but the bacon came from my garden..so no bags here!!!..So tasty even with Quorn bacon slices...!
