So I had a version of this soup (based on a traditional soup in Argentina) at the Queensway Carleton Hospital Gala last night at the Casino de Lac Leamy.
Since I couldn't find pumpkin or chorizo and was too lazy to drive out to La Bottega or Nicastro's for pancetta, I modified it slightly with ingredients that I was able to find at my local Farm Boy.
I think it rivals the one that Chef Tim Wasylko made last night...just saying. And my husband and kids love it...and in the end that's all that matters.

6 strips of bacon [diced up]
