I made a pumpkin soup tonight that was awesome. I got to wondering about the pumpkin, though :)

Hi Wendy,


Pumpkin is a winter squash.


All types of winter squash are allowed in phase 2 (acorn, butternut, pumpkin, hubbard). They count as a starch. The serving size in 1/2 cup. The exception to the rule is spaghetti squash. This counts as a vegetable and can be enjoyed in phase 1 as well as phase 2.
