Cube the pumpkin pulp. Peel and dice the onions. Heat 2 tablespoons of oil in a saucepan and sautée the onions and pumpkin. Pour in broth and cook for about 30 minutes, or until the pumpkin is soft. Meanwhile toast the pumpkin seeds in a dry pan, then set some aside for garnishing. Break the parmesan into small pieces. Peel and coarsely chop garlic. Rinse, shake dry and coarsely chop parsley.
