Ingredients

3 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
2 leeks, trimmed of tough green tops and chopped
3 large cloves garlic, finely chopped
2 medium green bell peppers, chopped
6 cup vegetable broth
1¼ cup frozen corn
1½ teaspoon chopped fresh marjoram
¼ teaspoon crushed red pepper
¼ teaspoon salt
¼ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
2¼ pound pumpkin, seeded, and cut into ½- by 1-inch-thick pieces
2 bay leaves

Directions

Heat the olive oil in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium heat. Add the leeks and cook until very soft, about 5 minutes.
Add the garlic and cook for about 2 minutes. Stir in the bell peppers; reduce the heat to medium-low, and cook until the peppers soften, about 8 more minutes.
Add the broth, corn, marjoram, crushed red pepper, salt, black pepper, pumpkin, and bay leaves, and cook until the pumpkin is tender, about 30 minutes.
