1
Cook the bacon until crispy in a large stock pot over medium high heat. Remove from the pot and place on a paper towel lined plate to cool. Set aside.

Add the apples and cook for another 3-5 minutes, until they begin to caramelize. Add the garlic, cinnamon, and ground ginger and cook for another 1-2 minutes, until fragrant.
4
Add the chicken stock and pumpkin puree. Turn the heat to high and bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer for 20 minutes.

Either transfer the soup to a food processor or use an immersion blender to blend the soup until smooth.
6
Season with salt and pepper to taste.

Spoon into bowls and garnish with the crisp bacon and pumpkin seeds.
