1 Medium pumpkin
2 Leeks (not too big and only the white part)
2 Carrots
1 l Chicken stock
Olive Oil
Salt
Pepper
Peeled pumpkin seeds
1

First, clean and wash the leeks and carrots.
Once the vegetables have been washed, set the carrots aside and chop the leek. While we do this, we put a pan, a little deep, with oil on the heat as we have to fry the leek. Once the leek has been chopped and the oil is more or less hot, add the leek and salt it. Leave it to poach quietly.

2

While the leek is cooking, prepare the pumpkin and the carrots. Remove the outside of the pumpkin (the hard part that covers it) and cut it into small pieces along with the carrots (which have already been peeled). Put the mixture of carrot and pumpkin chunks in a colander and put it in the rich water under the tap!!!. Let it drain and when we consider that the leek is more or less poached, add the pumpkin and carrot and stir.

3

Then, add the chicken stock
Let it "chup, chup" over a medium heat for a little while. Check to see if the pumpkin is soft and can be squashed. When it is soft and can be squashed without difficulty, remove the pan from the heat. Serve and add a little pepper, a drizzle of oil and some peeled pumpkin seeds for garnish.
