Season mixture with a little salt and pepper. Add both cans of soup. soy sauce, rice, beans, and water chestnuts and milk. Stir to combine. If mixture looks too dry add a little more milk.
Spoon mixture into the cleaned pumpkin shell. Place pumpkin top on and place entire pumpkin, with filling, on a baking sheet. Bake about an hour or longer until the filling is hot and the inside meat of the pumpkin is tender. Remove pumpkin top. Mix together remaining melted butter, breadcrumbs, and parsley. Sprinkle on top of the pumpkin and bake another few minutes until top is golden. Put pumpkin on a plate with lid to the top side of pumpkin. Scoop out cassreole and cooked pumpkin to serve. You can also bake this casserole in several smaller pumpkins so that everyone gets their own casserole.
