I love gardening and have a big pumpkin patch. A few years ago when our harvest was very plentiful, I experimented and came up with this recipe. My family just loves this soup.

A bit too thin, didn't add the bacon. Great ease, but next time I would add more potatoes or use cream instead of milk We prefer a thicker soup... Delicious flavors!

Wow! This was so much better than I thought it would be! Everybody loved it and has asked me to make it again!

Creamy but bland, might make a good sauce in a casserole, would probable turn into something else if I make again

This tasted a lot like the title, nothing more than that. We left out the bacon to make it a meatless meal. It would be a nice accompaniment to a good, dense loaf of homemade rye bread.

I love this soup! Make sure you top the soup with the bacon because that really makes the dish. Also, I usually add a little sugar (or splenda) to the soup for a hint of sweetness.
