Stew in a Pumpkin
Trader Joes was giving out free pumpkins after halloween so I obviously took one even though I have never cooked one before. I wanted to take advantage of the entire pumpkin so I googled "stew in pumpkin." This soup is based on a recipe from www.allrecipes.com. I left out ingredients that I didn't have and made a few other changes. It was really tasty and a complete meal in 1 pumpkin!
