- 1-1/4 lb (567 g) sugar pumpkin or butternut squash, halved and seeded

Preparation
Peel and cut pumpkin into 1-1/2-inch (4 cm) cubes; place in roasting pan. Add onions, apple and garlic; drizzle with oil and toss to coat. Roast in 425°F (220°C) oven, stirring once, until pumpkin is browned and tender, about 40 minutes.
Peel apple; transfer along with roasted mixture to food processor.
Heat roasting pan over medium-high heat; pour in 1 cup (250 mL) of the broth and bring to boil, scraping up browned bits. Add to food processor; purée until smooth.

Remove all but 1 tbsp (15 mL) fat from Dutch oven. Stir in vegetable purée, remaining vegetable broth, 2 cups (500 mL) water, caraway seeds, salt and pepper; bring to boil. Reduce heat and simmer for 5 minutes. Serve sprinkled with bacon.
