Recipe Instructions:
- Cut the skin off the pumpkin and scrape the seeds out.
 - Cut all that flesh into cubes so it can be cooked down.
 - Cut the onion into bits
 - Brown the pound of beef, breaking it up as much as possible
 - Put the pumpkin cubes into a large pot and cover with water.
 - Bring to a boil and once the pumpkin is soft, mash it up (about 45 minutes)
 - Add salt, pepper, onion, oil and beef
 - Simmer for another hour. Soup should be thick like apple sauce
 - Cook rice as normal and serve pumpkin soup over it.
 - Potatoes can be sliced thinly, deep fried, salted, and added to the soup just before eating.
