How to make it:
  1. Fry the beef until the outside is brown, Add the onions, Add a little bit of water, Once the onions are soft, fill the pot half way with water (make sure you have room for the pureed pumpkin.
  2. Cut up the roots and add them.
  3. Add the pepper(leave out if you are B sec.), salt and Bay leaves and let simmer for an hour or two.
