Add 2 chopped onions or 1 large one.
Add 2 teaspoons of dried basil.
Add 2 teaspoons of curry.

Pour in 1 liter of water with some salt. (Some use 1 packet of chicken broth in 2 cups of water and then add 1 can of chicken broth.)
Add one pumpkin (center) in little pieces. Boil about 20 minutes, then mash and add some cream to finish it off. (If you want to save time, you can use 1 large can of pumpkin and a dollop of sour cream to finish if off!)
