1

Peel and dice the potatoes, add to cooking pot large enough to cook all ingredients.

Prepare pumpkin and then artichoke (skin on)as per potatoes, dice the onion.

When potatoes are cooked add pumpkin, artichoke, onion and other herbs and spices.

You may add water at this point, just enough to cover all ingredients if you like thick soup or more if thick is not your thing.
