My comments
If I gave my DH soup for dinner he would ask where the rest (ie the meat) was!!
I love soup though, i'll keep this one in mind for when i'm home alone. Actually that will never happen!!!LOL

i tried this tonight but i did it a bit different - it was really really yum!
I'm not sure if we have WW bacon in NZ, i've certainly never seen it. So i used tegal chicken rashers which are 95% fat free & 1.5 pts for a 200gm packet.
I normally make pt free soups so i thought i'd try make this 0.5pts per serve.
I used one whole pumpkin, 4 cups water, 4 cups milk, pack of chicken rashers, an onion & a tablespoon of bacon stock powder.
total points for the pot was 6pts, & theres 8 cups of liquid, before all pumpkin, onion & bacon so i think i can call it half point serves :)
thanks so much for posting this M, it is delicious!!
