My father-in-law makes this delicious 'concoction' with chillies and onions that they preserve and eat with most savoury dishes. It will really spice-up sandwiches as well. The amount of heat you get depends on the type of chilli you use, and the amount can easily be adjusted accordingly.
Our family's favourite soup is this thick curry soup with the sweetness of butternut . This amount of soup must be cooked in at least a 10lt pot. Serve it with lots of warm garlic bread. A great accompaniment is Egyptian Dukkah. Sprinkle over liberally. Bacon can be substituted with any left-over smoked pork.
