"There are many versions of this stew-soup in Central and South America.

Remove chicken; set aside.

*Note: For best flavor, use small sugar pumpkins (about 2-3 pounds).  Cut

you can bake the pumpkin whole in a roasting pan at 375 F for about 1

remove seeds and string, and scoop out flesh with a spoon.  You may use
prebaked or canned pumpkin in this recipe too.
