How to make pumpkin stew with chicken and other recipes

On this occasion, we have prepared a vegetarian pumpkin stew. The vegetables and seasonings are enough to give this recipe all the flavors and essences it needs to lick our fingers. However, if you are looking to make a more complete recipe for pumpkin stew with chicken, you can add it perfectly.

You can use 1 chicken carcass or use about 4 thighs, since they usually add a lot of flavor to the preparation. To do it this way, start by making a broth with the chicken and add the vegetables later. Other ingredients that you can add to your pumpkin stew include cheese, green beans, or even beef.
