    	If you are having trouble peeling, try this.
    
    	Cut into strips(use a clean hack, or hand wood saw) and peel 
    	with a new veg. peeler.
    
    
    	As for the seeds, I clean them off, soak in salt water for a while,
    then roast in the oven(300 F) until crunchy.

|  |     Giving this some thought, have you given consideration to whacking it
    in half with a large, sharp knife, scooping out the seeds and nuking it
    in the microwave till manageable?  Seems to me if you're going to make
    soup it would be much faster to start with partially cooked pumpkin.
    
    I have an American Indian Cookbook which says to cut the top
    ah-la-halloween, scoop out seeds and bake.  Did this and didn't like
    it.  A bit sharp for my unsuspecting tongue.  It was interesting
    though.

|  |     One of my cookbooks suggests pre-cooking acorn squash in the microwave.
    Those are really hard as well.  Maybe you could try the same approach
    if it will fit in your microwave.
    
    As far as peeling...I cook first, then scoop.  No peeling necessary.

|  |     I saw a Pumpkin Carving Kit at Spag's the other night.  The cutting
    tool looked like a small saw.

|  |     I have a great recipe for Pumkin Seeds:
    
    Clean all the pumpkin off.
    Put seeds in a pan, cover with water, add 1/2-3/4 Cup salt
    Boil until all the water is out
    Bake in over 300 degrees until crisp
    
    
    Salty I know, but WONDERFUL!
