Heat oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add the chopped onion, apple, cinnamon, ginger, chilli powder and salt. Cook, whilst stirring occasionally, for around 5 minutes. Add the butternut squash to the pot, and stir to coat for another 5 minutes. Add the stock, bring to a boil, lower the heat and simmer, with the pot covered, for around 40-50 minutes, until the squash is soft. Allow the soup to cool and blend in a blender or with a hand-held immersion blender until completely smooth.
To make the spiced pumpkin seeds – combine the oil, cinnamon, chilli powder, salt and pepper together in a small bowl. Add the pumpkin seeds and stir to coat. Heat a pan over medium heat. Add the pumpkin seeds, and allow to toast in the pan, whilst stirring to ensure they don’t burn, for around 3-5 minutes. Remove from heat and allow to cool fully. Serve the soup heated, with a generous sprinkling of Spiced Pumpkin Seeds on top.
