I can't say enough about this soup. It's easy and delicious. I added some extra pumpkin spice because I liked the stronger flavor. Outstanding recipe. Thanks, Smithfield.

Love the mix of the ingredients; nothing is missing. I think I will
substitute chicken stock with beef broth for personal taste. I look
forward to preparing this for my aunt, dog and myself.
Thank You

I made this with my leftover sweet potatoes. It was creamy and heavenly. The crunch of the salty bacon on top was perfect.
