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.
