I bought a variety of kabocha squash, so I turned it into a spicy soup.

I used bacon that isn't very fatty, but it's salty so be sure to taste before adding more salt. Adjust the amounts of cream, milk and spices to taste. For 6 servings. Recipe by Brandy

    When the kabocha squash is tender, cool it down a bit. Puree in a blender or pass through a chinois or sieve. Return the puree to the pan, add the cream and milk and heat through.

    Add the garam masala, nutmeg and cinnamon, and season with salt. Ladle into soup bowls, sprinkle with some paprika on top, and serve.
