Pumpkin Apple Bacon Soup
Calling all pumpkin lovers! Also bacon lovers. Oh, and apple. Basically, if you love Fall flavors like I do, this Pumpkin Apple Bacon Soup is going to fill your taste buds with joy. This soup is thick and creamy with savory onions, smoky bacon, hearty pumpkin and sweet apples – perfect comfort food. It’s also warm and filling and a good-sized bowl will only set you back 209 calories or 5 Weight Watchers SmartPoints on all three myWW color plans!
I like super thick, creamy soups, but if you want to thin yours out a little feel free to add an additional cup of broth.

This looks like the perfect fall soup! I think I know what’s for dinner tomorrow night! 🙂 thanks Emily.
Hope you love it, Lindsay!
Can’t wait to try this soup as it sounds heavenly. Also love the cute yellow bowls. Since I’m a Yellow person, could you tell me where you got them or who the manufacture is as I bet the soup tastes better out of these cute yellow bowls. Thanks so much and I will definitely make this soup.
Wow! Everything I love about fall in one meal. Need to try soon!
@Jean Diemer, I’m not sure who makes the bowls Emily is using but here’s a link to bowls that I am dying to get. They are on my wedding registry and fingers crossed that i get them!

Hope you love the soup, Laura! Cute bowls 🙂
I just had this soup for lunch and it is AMAZING! And Jean, I think that the bowls are from Pottery Barn.
So glad you loved it! 🙂
Thanks Linda,
I love Pottery Barn and will check them out as I love yellow and I hope to make this soup soon as it looks so yummy.
She’s right! They’re from Pottery Barn 🙂
Thanks Emily,
Can’t wait to try your soup and I will check out the bowls as they are beautiful.

AMAZING !!!! This is an awesome soup. It is fall in a bowl. Thank you for helping us along in our healthy eating journey. Keep the awesome recipes coming.
Thanks Crystal, I’m so happy you loved it! 🙂
Just made this for lunch today. The soup is really good. I found it a bit too sweet and next time think I will leave out the brown sugar. Although it could have been the apples I used, my neighbor gave them to me and they were already sweet. I would recommend tasting the soup before adding the sugar.
Will this soup still be good if it’s premade and warmed in a crockpot?
Sure!
I just had an appointment with my diabetes clinician this morning and she gave me your website link as a resource for good, easy and healthy recipes that I cam use to get my A1C ‘s and sugar levels down…I just started going over some of the recipes and think I’m in love :0) . I think it is quite a compliment for a site to be recommended by a “doctor” to patients, especially diabetic and those looking for good, healthy and easy to prepare recipes. I look forward to being a repeat “customer”. Thank you, from southeast Georgia………
Soup is so good! Thank you for the recipe. Any idea how many points without bacon (or with turkey bacon)?
Thanks.
Is there a substitute for the cream cheese? I don’t care for it. Thanks
Ok I know this is really late but I just tried this last night and I have to say this is the BEST soup I have ever made. Its not even 10 and I can’t wait until lunch!!! Thanks Emily!
Absolutely love this soup. Perfect for lunch or dinner. So many wonderful recipes on this site.
Meal planning for the week and this is definitely on my list! What types of apples do you use for this recipe?
Have you ever tried making a butternut squash and apple soup? This looks so tasty but I am not a fan of pumpkin…
I have an AMAZING Butternut Squash Soup, it’s one of my all-time favorites. You could probably add an apple, but honestly, I wouldn’t change anything about it. Here’s the link: https://emilybites.com/2012/09/butternut-squash-soup.html
Love the soup. It is a keeper. Will definitely make again.
Made this soup three times. Love this. Shared with my Weight Watcher friends. Great flavor and so filling.
I plugged in the numbers on my ww calculator and it works out to 9 freestyle points. Not 5
Hi Bonnie,
Nope, it’s 5! You can’t use the calculator for recipes, you have to use the recipe builder which takes into account the 0 point foods.
Can you freeze the soup?
Can this doup be frozen?
Is this really sweet or does it taste hearty?
