Tips
Pumpkin will turn dark orange when cooked. To reduce cooking time, make soup and rice ahead ahead of time. When cutting lid on pumpkin, make a notch so it's easy to put the lid back on. You can substitute carrots with mushrooms, and apple with water chestnuts.

Cut off top of pumpkin and thoroughly clean out seeds and pulp.
