    2. Fry the garlic pieces and then add the pumpkin. Put the lid on the pan and let heat simmer for about 10 minutes. Put the pumpkin every now and then.
    3. If the pumpkin is nice and soft after 10 minutes, add 1.5 liters of broth (or add water, let it boil and then add stock cubes). Add the drained and washed lentils. Let it simmer for 10 minutes.
