In a large pot, heat oil over medium heat. Add onions and cook,
stirring occasionally, until softened and translucent, 7 to 8 minutes.
Add rice and stir to coat with oil. Toast rice, stirring often, until
fragrant, 3 to 4 minutes more. Meanwhile, whisk together pumpkin
purée and broth in a large bowl.

Stir broth mixture and bay leaves into pot, season with salt and
pepper and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium low, cover and
cook, stirring occasionally to keep rice from sticking to the bottom
of the pot, until liquid is absorbed and rice is cooked through and
creamy, about 45 minutes. Transfer to a bowl and serve
immediately.
