Instructions
Working time approx. 40 minutes; Total time approx. 40 minutes
Halve, deseed, and peel the pumpkin. Dice the pumpkin. Peel the potatoes and cut them into slightly smaller cubes like the pumpkin. Clean the leek and cut it into thick rings, wash it thoroughly in a sieve under running water, and let it drain. Peel, quarter, and core the apples, then cut them into large cubes. Pour the broth into a large pot and add the vegetables. Season with salt and pepper. Place the smoked pork on top of the vegetables. Scatter the bay leaves and marjoram over the top. Cover and simmer over medium heat for 20 minutes. At the end of the cooking time, add the cooked beans (they should still have some bite) to the pot and let it cook. Remove the smoked pork from the pot and let it rest for a while. Season the soup with salt and pepper, if desired, and sprinkle with some dried marjoram. Serve the soup in deep plates with sliced smoked pork.
