  • 1/2 tsp. salt

Soup

  • 1 Tbs. olive oil
  • 1 medium onion, thinly sliced (1 cup)
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced (2 tsp.)
  • 2 tsp. smoked paprika
  • 1 bay leaf
  • 2 Tbs. dry sherry
  • 11/2 lb. kabocha squash, peeled, seeded, and cut into 1-inch pieces
  • 2 cups low-sodium vegetable broth

To make Spiced Pepitas: Preheat oven to 350°F. Line baking sheet with parchment paper. Toss together pepitas, olive oil, agave nectar, paprika, and salt in small bowl. Spread on prepared baking sheet, and bake 10 to 12 minutes, turning occasionally. Cool. Break pepitas apart, and toss with cilantro.

To make Soup: Heat oil in large pot over medium-high heat. Add onion, sauté 5 to 7 minutes, then stir in garlic, smoked paprika, and bay leaf. Cook 1 minute more. Add sherry, and cook 2 minutes. Add squash, vegetable broth, and 1 cup water. Bring to a simmer, cover, and reduce heat to medium-low. Cook 25 minutes, or until squash is tender.

Remove bay leaf, and purée soup in food processor or blender until smooth. Season with salt and pepper, if desired. Serve sprinkled with Spiced Pepitas.
