Pumpkins aren't just for pies or Halloween decorations. These large, orange gourds - while naturally sweet - also work well in savory dishes. They pair well with poultry and pork (and especially bacon) and their creamy-when-cooked texture blends easily into soups.

The meal was wonderful. The recipe was missing a few steps. According to 2 other sites that had this recipe, after boiling the tomatoes, you peel and chop them. Hope that helps!
