"Smooth texture, sweetness from pumpkin and bit of saltiness from crispy bacon that's what it taste like my super simple pumpkin soup."

This soup is delicious. I'd been looking for a great pumpkin soup recipe and this is the one. The only thing I did differently was add a pinch of pumpkin pie spice. I used fresh chives to garnish, and it was so, so good! Thank you, Hanka for your great recipe.
