Wash the pumpkin thoroughly.

Cut the pumpkin into small pieces and remove the seeds.

Put the pumpkin pieces in a crock pot to boil.

Prepare the vegetables while the pumpkin is boiling.

Wash the cabbage fully after cutting it.

Check the pumpkin to ensure it is tender; it can be smushed as it will be blended later.

In a frying pan, sauté the onions and green onions, adding garlic and ginger.

Use an immersion blender to blend the squash; if unavailable, use any type of blender.

Add water, carrots, vinegar, and the sautéed vegetables to the blended squash.

Stir all the ingredients together and add salt and pepper to taste.

Add the cabbage and potatoes along with the remaining water, cover, and let it cook for a bit.

Optionally, add pasta of your choice once the carrots and potatoes start to cook.
