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.
