Pumpkin Soup with Sweet and Spicy Pumpkin Seeds

Green-gray pumpkin seeds possess an intriguing squash-like flavor that sets them apart from other seeds and nuts. The seeds, like the meat of a pumpkin, take well to sweet partners, such as maple syrup, and to warm spices such as cayenne pepper that add an undercurrent of heat to this autumnal recipe.
