Pumpkin, Apple & Bacon Soup

I'm a huge fan of soup, especially during this time of year.  It is even better when I get to incorporate pumpkin (which I love) and bacon! Cause, well bacon.  I found this recipe in the October issue of Food Network Magazine which I adapted slightly.  It is smooth and flavorful with the perfect mix of salty and sweet.  Even my husband gobbled it up and he is not at all a pumpkin person!  Any who, give it a try, you will not be disappointed!
