Apple Pumpkin Soup
1 large onion, chopped
1/2 pound of bacon, chopped
one 15-ounce can of pumpkin
1 cup water
2 cups apple cider
1/4 cup brown sugar
4 cubes chicken bouillon
1 apple, chopped and unpeeled
dash of liquid smoke
salt, to taste
2 teaspoons white pepper
1/3 cup crystallized ginger, chopped
Sauté onion and bacon lightly in large pot. Add pumpkin, water, apple cider, brown sugar, chicken bouillon, apple, liquid smoke salt, white pepper, and crystallized ginger to the pot.

My personal modifications:
2 C fresh pumpkin meat instead of a can
1/2 tsp. ginger powder
Yogurt instead of sour cream to taste
The soup is excellent for leftovers and tastes even better the second day. It also freezes well as long as you don't add the milk product.
