https://www.honeysucklecatering.com/blog/a-pumpkin-smoothie-and-soup

- 1 small pumpkin (about 3 – 5 pounds)
- 1 medium yellow onion, chopped
- 2 garlic cloves, chopped
- 2 tbsp butter
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 1 teaspoon dried sage
- ½ teaspoon cumin
- 1 teaspoon chile powder
- 4 cups vegetable or chicken stock

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
Cut pumpkin in half and scoop out the seeds. Rub olive oil in the pumpkin and season with salt and pepper. Lay cut side of pumpkin face-up. Roast for about 45 minutes, until pumpkin is tender and can easily be pierced with a fork. Once it is done, let the pumpkin cool and then remove the flesh (about 3 cups). Discard the skin.

In the meantime, add 2 tbsps of butter and 1 tbsp of olive oil to a large pot over medium heat. Add onion, garlic and sauté for about 10 minutes, until onions are translucent.

Add the pumpkin flesh, sage, cumin, chile powder, and stock. Bring to a boil and then lower heat and simmer for 15 minutes.

Blend the soup using an immersion blender or transferring it to a regular blender (once the soup has cooled down significantly).
Garnish with a drizzle of olive oil, dash of chile powder and pumpkin seeds. Add salt to taste and serve.

Pumpkin seeds, also known as pepitas, are delicious and nutritious. Follow this recipe to bake your own pumpkin seeds and create a sweet, spicy, or salty treat at home.

Step 1: Preheat oven
Preheat your oven to 250 degrees Fahrenheit. Spray the baking sheet with nonstick cooking spray and set it aside.

Step 2: Remove and dry seeds
Remove the pumpkin seeds from the pumpkin, wash them, and pat them dry with paper towels. Spread evenly on the baking sheet, and bake for one hour at 250 degrees to dry them.

Step 3: Combine seeds, oil, and salt
Combine the pumpkin seeds with the canola oil and salt in a large mixing bowl. Use more or less salt to achieve the taste you desire.

Step 4: Add spices
Increase the oven heat to 350 degrees. Add spices to create your own flavor combinations. Toss the seeds, oil, and spices until the pumpkin seeds are evenly coated.

Tip
Use any spices in your pantry to create a personalized flavor combination. Use chili powder for spicy pumpkin seeds or combine sugar, cinnamon, cumin, and ginger for a sweet flavor.

Step 5: Bake seeds
Spread the pumpkin seeds evenly on the baking sheet and bake in the preheated oven for four minutes.

Step 6: Redistribute
Mix the pumpkin seeds on the baking sheet, and redistribute them evenly. Return the baking sheet to the oven and bake for four to five minutes more.

Step 7: Cool and store
Remove the baked pumpkin seeds from the oven and let them cool completely. Store them in an airtight container — if you can manage not to eat them all immediately.
