I love soup. I could eat soup all summer long, so when fall comes around, I am a happy camper! I can finally make soup, without the 100 degree southern California weather! It is getting brisk outside, and Pumpkin Parmesan Soup, sounds perfect! Especially with bacon. Actually everything is better with bacon.

This recipe is SOUPer simple, and comes together in a snap! Just render off a few slices of bacon, until crispy, and set aside. Then, you start off with a few tablespoons of butter, and onion, in a saucepan, and cook until tender, and translucent, then add chicken stock, pumpkin puree, evaporated milk, parmesan cheese, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Let it come to a slow simmer on medium heat, and cook for about 7-10 minutes.

When it is all warmed up, just ladle into a bowl, and top with a few bacon crumbles that you rendered earlier, and some croutons! Soups on!
