Chopped veggies:

1/2 cup of green peppers, chopped

Here is how you make Pumpkin Lentil Soup:

- in a soup pot, cook onions in a bit of olive oil until they are soft. At this point add in all the veggies that you wish to put in your soup (I put Kale, Cauliflour and Green Peppers). -Stir until Kale has wilted. Add Cracked Pepper. In the mean time, rise and prepare lentils. -Once Kale has wilted add the Vegetable Stock and the Pumpkin, hot sauce and lentils.-Bring soup to boil, for 3-5 minutes, then lower heat and simmer for about 5-10 minutes (or until you are ready to eat!).Serve in 4 bowls and sprinkle extra old white cheddar cheese on top! (for additional variation top with home made croutons):(recipe: 1-2 pieces of whole wheat bread (bread ends work great!, brush a bit of olive oil, basil, oregano and sage on the bread and bake at 350 until crispy).
