My work serves this soup occasionally in the fall. I love it and always miss it so I started trying to figure it out myself so I can enjoy it at home! Great comfort food for those dreary fall days!

Time 1h15m

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 can(s) pumpkin puree 30 ounces
6 slice bacon of your choice
3 medium granny smith apples
5 c chicken broth, low salt
1 c heavy cream
1 small onion
1 Tbsp bacon grease
1 tsp pumpkin pie spice
3 Tbsp brown sugar-packed
1/2 tsp pepper
1/2 tsp sage, dried (optional)
1/2 tsp thyme, dried (optional)

Steps:

  • 1. Peel and finely chop onion and set aside.
  • 2. Core, peel and chop apples into small to medium chunks and set aside.
  • 3. Prepare bacon by cooking crisp, then crumbling into bacon bits, and set aside.
  • 4. In a large dutch oven, heat the bacon grease, then add in the onions, apples and spices until onions are translucent (approximately 8-10 minutes) medium-high heat.
  • 5. Add in the chicken broth and bring to a boil on high heat until the apples are soft.
  • 6. Reduce heat to medium, add in pumpkin and bacon. Allow to simmer for 20-30 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  • 7. With an immersion blender, puree the soup, adding in the heavy cream. (You may substitute softened, chunked cream cheese also).
  • 8. I do not have an immersion blender, so I placed the soup in batches in my blender adding in the cream. Soup will be velvety. Like a bisque. You may also, leave some bacon bits aside to garnish on top and add some pumpkin seeds to the top for a nice added touch.
