Mmm.....soup season is here! You'll love this savory soup.

Our Roasted Butternut Squash and Pear Soup is perfect for the Fall and Winter seasons. Butternut soup often has apples in the recipe, however, we tried it with pears and it was a hit! This flavorful soup also has great color. We also like adding a little roasted pear to top each bowl!

Roasted Butternut Squash and Pear Soup

Ingredients

  • 1 butternut squash or a large package of cut butternut squash
  • 1 medium yellow onion sliced
  • 2 pears peeled, cored and diced
  • 1/2 tsp. salt
  • 2-4 tbsp. of Olive oil
  • 2 quarts chicken or vegetable stock
  • 1 cinnamon stick

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.
  • On a baking sheet; combine cut squash, sliced onions, and diced pears. Sprinkle with salt and drizzle olive oil to lightly coat and toss mixture.
  • Bake in the oven until onions begin to brown, about 8-10 minutes. Toss vegetables and continue cooking until squash is fork tender, about another 8-10 minutes.
  • Remove vegetables from the oven. Take half of the vegetable mixture and place it in the blender. Add one quart of stock and blend until well combined. Pour soup into a large pot. Repeat with the balance of the vegetables, and the remaining stock, and pour into the pot. Add the cinnamon stick and simmer the soup for 30 min.
  • Garnish option - add a thinly sliced cooked pear to the top of each bowl.
Yields: 3 quarts
