Instructions
  1. Roast the Pumpkin: Peel the pumpkin, remove the seeds, and cut into cubes. Roast the pumpkin in the oven at 350 degrees for 30 minutes.
  2. While the pumpkin is roasting, heat some olive oil in a soup pot over medium heat. Add the package of turkey bacon and brown to a crisp. Remove the bacon from the pan, and finely chop.
  3. After the pumpkin is roasted, sauté the onions until soft in the soup pot about 5 minutes. Add the chopped bacon (can reserve some for garnish), pumpkin, about 1/4 teaspoon of black pepper, chicken stock and water. Bring to a boil and then reduce the heat to simmer for 10 minutes.
  4. Using an immersion blender, puree the soup until an even consistency is reached. Alternatively, you can put small batches of the soup in a blender, but be careful not to burn yourself!
  5. Portion into bowls (1 serving = 2cups), garnish with reserved bacon and freshly cracked black pepper (optional) and enjoy!
