Made this for thanksgiving. Used Grocery store Smoked processed Gouda the only available where we were in Maine. Made again using a local Boston cheese shop Gouda. Invest in good smoked Gouda, well worth it. Served with apples as garnish.

amazing! I used 2 15 oz. cans of pumpkin puree because i didn't have hard-packed pumpkin. I also threw in an extra cup of gouda :) YUM!

I made 1/2 the recipe and used laughing cow cheese instead of Gouda. I really like this soup. My husband is not as adventurous and said it was okay but only tasted it. My neighbors gave it a B+. It's easy to make. This is the first time I have made pumpkin soup. It is very filling. Half the receipe fed three people with a serving leftover. I would make this maybe once a year.

This soup exceeded my expectations. It was really delicious. The flavor was really good, and how can you go wrong with bacon and smoked gouda. I made it a second time last night for a recipe exchange group (the theme was soups), and lots of the girls said how good it was. I definitely recommend this.

this is so yummy, I had to find a gluten free soup for a friend of mine and this one is delicious. I can't wait to see if she likes it as much as I did.
