I have used Vegeta for many years and find it adds a great taste to all my soups and stews.
Vegeta makes it easy to add extra flavour to any dish you make, today for lunch as I sometimes do on Sunday I made soup. It is always good to have a bit of a plan for you meals on the weekend. This can save you a lot in gas or electricity, We had roast pork for dinner on Saturday night so I put a tray of pumpkin in to roast at the same time about a quarter of a large Jap pumpkin.
This I cooked until soft with a slight browning to give that lovely caramelised flavour, I then scooped the delicious pumpkin out of the skins and put it in the fridge till today.
This soup is so quick and delicious put a pan on the stove and add 3 chopped rashes of bacon 1 small onion chopped finely and 3 large cloves of garlic crushed. Cook until the onion is softened and the bacon browns then add pumpkin and mash it till smooth then add 1 teaspoon each of Vegeta chicken stock powder and Gourmet stock with enough hot water to cover and stir well if it seems to thick you can add more water, it is up to you how thick you want your soup. You can choose to blitz the soup in a food processor or have a more chunky soup with the bacon and onion in small pieces.
When I serve this soup I like to add a teaspoon of Greek yogurt or sour cream with a sprinkle of fresh parsley if you have some crusty bread this is nice if not crackers are something different with soup.
