New Zealand Gold Kumara, Leek & Bacon Soup image

I have this cooking on the stove right now. It has become a real favourite with us and is cheap to make and filling. Kumara are a native sweet potato to New Zealand - if you're unable to find that any other sweet potato or pumpkin could be substituted, although the flavour may not be the same. Do not let the curry powder overpower the flavours in the soup. This is a yellow curry powder, the type our mothers would have used when we were children.

This soup is disgusting. I took one bite and had to spit it out. It's the worst soup I've ever tasted.

This soup is a waste of time. It's bland, flavorless, and greasy. I would not recommend it to anyone.

I don't recommend this soup. I found the gold kumara and leek combination to be bland and unflavorful. I also didn't like the addition of bacon. It made the soup too greasy.

This soup is okay. It's not the best kumara soup I've ever had, but it's not bad either. The gold kumara and leek combination is nice, but I think the soup needs a little more seasoning. I also found the bacon to be a bit overpowering.

This soup is a great way to use up leftover kumara. I always have a few kumara lying around, and this soup is a great way to use them up before they go bad. The soup is also very easy to make, and it's always a hit with my family.

This soup is a must-try for any leek lover. The leeks add a subtle sweetness and a lovely texture to the soup. I also appreciate that this recipe uses gold kumara instead of regular kumara, as I find the gold variety to be sweeter and more flavorful.

I've tried many kumara soups in my life, but this one takes the cake. The addition of leek and bacon elevates the classic kumara soup to a whole new level. The soup is rich, creamy, and packed with flavor. I couldn't get enough of it!
