Preparation

Step 1

Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
Cut squash or pumpkin in half, scoop out seeds, and use fork or knife to create perforations across it to facilitate even cooking.
Lay halves skin side down on a baking tray and sprinkle with salt. Bake until a fork easily penetrates flesh, about 90 minutes.
Remove from oven and allow to cool until comfortable to touch. Alternatively, refrigerate until ready to use, up to 2 days.
In a large saucepan, heat garlic infused olive oil and fry bacon until crispy. Remove from pan, drain on paper towel.
In same pan, add leek tips and saute until translucent.
Scoop pumpkin flesh from skin, add to leek tips.
Add stock or water, oregano, sage, Worcestershire sauce, salt and pepper.
Bring to a boil, then lower heat and simmer for 30 minutes with lid on.
Off the heat, let cool slightly then use immersion blender to puree mixture until completely smooth.
Stir in cream and enough water to thin, if too thick.
Season to taste.
Simmer for a further 20 minutes with lid on.
Serve warm and garnished with bacon bits.

Suggested pairings:

Serve with a dollop of sour cream and some finely minced chives. A fresh slice of crusty rye bread (or your favourite low FODMAP/gluten-free bread) also goes down a treat.
