   Boil sweet potato, butternut and onion in 1.5 litres of water. Then puree all ingredients (discard water depending on the your preferred consistency of the soup). Set aside.

   Remove the top of the pumpkin and keep the lid intact. Remove all seeds and excess flesh inside pumpkin. Place on a baking tray.
