Method

  1. Fry the bacon in a medium saucepan until crisp - you shouldn't need any oil as the bacon fat will melt quickly. Add the pumpkin and shallots and fry until the edges start to brown, then add the stock and bring to a simmer. Cover and cook for 15 minutes or until the pumpkin is tender.
  2. Stir in the kale, cover and cook for 5 minutes or until tender. Stir in the parsley and season well. Serve with the toast.

    I've never used kale before and this turned out to be a real autumn treat, added a pinch of chilli flakes for a little heat.

    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.

    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.

    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

    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

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

    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.

    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.
