Directions:
Heat the oil in a large saucepan over medium heat. Add the onion, carrot, and celery and cook for 8-10 minutes or until soft, stirring occasionally.

Add the garlic, thyme, rosemary, and bay leaf and cook for 1 minute or until fragrant, stirring occasionally.

Add the chicken and cook for 5 minutes or until lightly browned, stirring frequently.

Stir in the stock, pumpkin, tomatoes, and kale (or spinach) and bring to a boil over high heat. Reduce the heat to low and simmer for 10 minutes. Add the cannellini beans and simmer for a further 10-15 minutes. Season with salt and pepper, if desired.

To serve, ladle the soup into serving bowls and sprinkle over the grated Parmesan.
