1 cup raw pumpkin seeds (rinsed and dried on a clean kitchen towel (4 oz))
1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil

Yield Makes 16 servings (about 20 cups)

Number Of Ingredients 11

For toasts
15 slices firm white sandwich bread
1/2 stick (1/4 cup) unsalted butter, softened
For soup
12 lb butternut squash, halved lengthwise and seeded
1 1/2 tablespoons chopped fresh jalapeño chile, including seeds
1 teaspoon ground cumin
7 cups chicken broth or water
5 cups water plus additional for thinning
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice, or to taste
Accompaniment: pumpkin seed pesto

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 400°F.
  • Make toasts:
  • Trim and discard crusts from bread. Spread 1 side of each slice evenly with butter and season with salt and pepper. Halve slices diagonally to form triangles and arrange, buttered sides up, on a baking sheet. Toast bread, turning once, in middle of oven until golden brown, about 4 minutes. Transfer toasts to a rack to cool.
  • Make soup:
  • Put squash, cut sides down, in 2 greased shallow baking pans and roast in upper and lower thirds of oven, switching position of pans halfway through roasting, until very tender, about 1 1/4 hours. Cool and scoop out flesh.
  • Purée squash in batches in a blender with jalapeño, cumin, and broth until very smooth (add additional water as needed to facilitate puréeing).Transfer to a 6- to 8-quart heavy pot and stir in 5 cups water. Simmer, stirring, 10 minutes, then stir in lemon juice, enough water to thin to desired consistency, and salt and pepper to taste.
  • Serve soup in bowls topped with slices of toast spread with pesto.

Tips:

  • Choose fresh, firm butternut squash and pumpkin seeds for the best flavor and texture.
  • Rinse the seeds thoroughly before roasting to remove any dirt or debris.
  • Toss the seeds with oil, salt, and spices before roasting to evenly coat them and enhance their flavor.
  • Spread the seeds in a single layer on a baking sheet to ensure even roasting.
  • Roast the seeds at a high temperature for a short amount of time to prevent them from burning.
  • Stir the seeds occasionally during roasting to ensure even cooking.
  • Once the seeds are roasted, remove them from the oven and let them cool slightly before serving.
  • Store the roasted seeds in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 weeks.
