3 cups fresh pumpkin, chopped in bite size pieces
4 slices bacon, diced
2 cups chicken stock
1 garlic clove, finely chopped
1 cup heavy cream
1 tablespoon parsley, finely chopped

In a medium sauce pan, cook the pumpkin in the stock until the pumpkin is tender. While the pumpkin is cooking, in a small saute pan, cook the bacon with the garlicuntil the bacon is crisp. Once the pumpkin is soft,
mash gently and add the heavy cream. Simmer for about 5
