Heat the olive oil in a saucepan over medium heat. Add the onion, carrot, celery, pumpkin, herbs and chestnuts, and cook, stirring occasionally, for 15 minutes or until the vegetables have softened. Add tomato, beans and stock to pan. Stir, then cover and slowly bring to boil. Simmer, stirring occasionally, for 25-30 minutes or until pumpkin is cooked through.
