2 cups chicken or vegetable stock
1 tablespoon mild chili powder
1 cup white beans, cooked
1 cup frozen lima beans

Instructions

To prepare pumpkin: Puncture pumpkin's skin with a knife or fork in several places and place in microwave for 3 to 6 minutes, until it is soft enough to cut in half. Cut in half and cool, if necessary, before scraping out seeds.
Bring 1/4 cup of stock to a boil and add onions. Cook for 5 - 10 minutes.
Stir in the rest of stock, the seasonings and white beans. Simmer gently until the pumpkin is ready.
Scoop the soft pumpkin flesh out of the shell and stir into the soup.
Add lima beans, corn and grains and simmer 10 minutes or until beans and corn are tender.
