Not to be confused with evaporated milk, sweetened condensed milk is very sweet (and very sticky) and used primarily in desserts.

Pumpkins aren't just for pies or Halloween decorations. These large, orange gourds - while naturally sweet - also work well in savory dishes. They pair well with poultry and pork (and especially bacon) and their creamy-when-cooked texture blends easily into soups.

This recipe does not state when to add the soy milk.
I'd add it when you return the pureed mixture to the crockpot for an additional 20 minutes.

Excellent!! I halved the recipe and used real bacon instead of turkey bacon and 1% milk instead of soy milk. The soup was creamy, delicious, light. I will definitely make this again even though I am not a huge cabbage fan. Unless you tell the diner what the soup's base is, they will not know. They will just know that it is delicious.
