Working time approx. 1 hour; Total time approx. 1 hour

After hollowing out the pumpkin, I use it as a Halloween pumpkin. I cut out a star-shaped lid and remove the seeds. I soak the seeds in salted water, let them dry, and then roast them in the oven. They’re great as snacks. Then I scrape out the flesh. I made about 2.8 kg. Now for the actual recipe: Finely chop the onions, bacon, and kolbász and fry them in oil. Add the pumpkin flesh and grated carrots and fry, stirring frequently. Then mix in plenty of paprika and fry briefly. Pour in the soup. Add the crushed garlic. Cover and simmer gently, stirring frequently, until the whole thing is tender. Only stir in the remaining spices towards the end of the cooking time. You can serve this with bread dumplings/napkin dumplings and soured meat or smoked meat.
