Low Carb Pumpkin Soup

There was a recipe in this months Food Network magazine that jumped out at me for being super easy and something that would probably be not to high on the carb rating. I love the fall and all the pumpkin flavors and it happened to be a pretty rainy day so it seemed like a great time to have some soup. 

Apple-Bacon Pumpkin Soup
Simmer one 8 Oz can of pumpkin with 2cups Chicken Broth
After it comes to a simmer add 1/4 cup cream and 2 Tbs Sugar Free Maple Syrup
Whisk soup together.
In a separate pan cook a 1 cubed apple with butter til it becomes soft. 
Dice some cooked bacon
Top soup with bacon bits and apple cubes. 

Note: If you are short on time you can skip the apple and the bacon. It's nice to add to it, but not required for it to be a yummy fall meal.

This Soup was a hit at our house. A perfect fit with a cold rain fall day. We made some low carb quesadillas to have with it at the cheese actually brought out the sweetness in the soup. It was a perfect pairing. This will definatly be a staple in our house. 

Unfortunately, I can't really say what the exact carb count in in a serving, but I am certain it is low. All the ingredients listed are pretty low carb so it's a safer choice than most soups. 

Try it out and tell me what you think.

I whipped together a similar recipe last week. No substitute for the quality of Libby's pumpkin. Mine had some sweet onion in it cooked in a little butter first. I like your idea of the SF Maple syrup. You could also add some Cayenne or black pepper. Great combo of the sweet and the kick of the pepper. It is delicious and I am thinking the make the same thing this week and add some butternut squash to it to give it a little different flavor. You would have to puree it though in a blender.

Tried the soup with puréed butternut squash. I also added some pumpkin pie spice. It was so delicious and filling.
