Serving

2 slices bacon
1/2 medium onion, chopped fine (about 1/2 cup)
white and pale green parts of 1 large leek, chopped fine and washed well (about 1 cup)
1 large garlic clove, minced
1/2 bay leaf
1 1/4 lb butternut squash, seeded, peeled , and cut into 1-inch pieces (about 3 cups)
1 medium granny smith or other tart apple
2 cups low-salt chicken broth
1/2 cup water plus additional for thinning soup
