Start by chopping the garlic and the shallot (or onion) and grating the fresh ginger
Add the oil to the pot and when warm, add the chopped garlic and shallot (or onion).
When brown, add the peeled pumpkin cut into cubes and mix with the rest.
When the pumpkin is blended with all the flavors, add hot water just up to the level of the pumpkin, not more.
After adding the water, you can add all together the thyme, rosemary, grated ginger, and salt to taste.
Cook for some 20 minutes or until the pumpkin is soft.
When you see the pumpkin has softened, turn off the fire and blend with an immersion blender directly in the pot.
Taste and adjust the salt.
Serve warm just like this or with a drizzle of extra virgin olive oil.
