New Zealand Gold Kumara, Leek & Bacon Soup

"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."

RECIPE SUBMITTED BY

I'm a part time at home Mom with two beautiful girls aged 10 and 13, who take after their mother and love to cook also. I love trying out new recipes, especially those that are light, healthy and have lots of flavour. My passion in life is to help woman grow into their potential, which I do through mentoring in my local church. For fun I enjoy reading, mosaics, gardening and having coffee with friends. My pet peeves - political correctness and blame shifting.
