Introduction
This is a thick, smooth, authentic pumpkin soup that can be made without a mixer or blender. The umami from grated onion and crispy sautéed bacon, finished with a touch of butter, creates a deep, rich flavor.
Step 1
Remove the pulp and seeds of the pumpkin with a spoon, wrap in plastic wrap, and microwave (600W) for about 5 minutes.
Step 2
Grate the onion. (Grating helps create a smooth texture without the need for a blender.)
Step 3
Cut the bacon into 2-3cm wide strips.
Step 4
Let the microwaved pumpkin cool slightly, then scoop the flesh out of the skin into a bowl and mash thoroughly with a fork until smooth.
Step 5
Heat a small pot over medium heat, add the bacon, and sear both sides until crisp without moving it. Remove only the bacon and set aside, leaving the rendered fat in the pot.

Important Notes
💡 By using grated onion, you can achieve a smooth and integrated soup texture without needing a blender.
💡 Mashing the pumpkin thoroughly with a fork while it is still warm makes it easier to achieve a smooth consistency when mixed with milk.
💡 By sautéing the bacon first and removing it, the remaining fat infuses the entire soup with a deep umami flavor.
💡 Since pumpkin sweetness varies, taste the soup after adding salt before adjusting the amount of sugar.
