Heat 3 Tbsp. olive oil in a large nonreactive saucepan. Add the onion

min. Add the tomato, garlic, and chile and cook, stirring, for 5 min.
Add the calabaza, vegetable stock, and orange juice and bring to a
boil. Reduce the heat to low, add 1 tsp. salt and simmer until the
calabaza is very soft, about 25 min. Meanwhile, preheat the oven to
375 F. On a baking sheet, drizzle the sliced Brazil nuts with the
remaining 1 Tbsp. olive oil. Bake for about 4 min., or until golden.
Season with salt. Can be prepared to this point and refrigerated for
1 day. Rewarm before proceeding. Let the nuts stand at room
temperature. Using a slotted spoon, transfer 1 1/2 cups of the
vegetable to a food processor or blender and puree until smooth. Stir
the puree back into the soup and season with salt. Ladle the soup
into shallow bowls and garnish with the sliced Brazil nuts.
