EASY BUTTERNUT SQUASH AND PEAR SOUP



Easy Butternut Squash and Pear Soup image

This soup is great for a cold fall day. I don't often cook using recipes so all amounts are my best guess but feel free to experiment - this recipe is great no matter what I seem to do with it. One helpful hint with the squash: It is really hard to peel so I do not peel it but instead roast it and then scoop the insides out into the soup. It's much easier that way! Serve topped with blue cheese crumbles and crusty bread on the side.

BUTTERNUT PEAR SOUP

I've made this soup fast, tasty, and easy! It 's creamy fruity with a slight kick from the ginger. A real comfort soup. I don't peel my squash just blend it up smooth in a vita mix or any high powered blender. You never know it's in there. But your body will love you for it! This I tried to keep low in fat and sugar by using low fat milk and pears in a light syrup. In the picture I garnished with recipe #50958 and fresh ripe pears slices.

Tips:

  • Choose ripe and flavorful butternut squash and pears: This will ensure that your soup has the best possible taste. Look for butternut squash that is deep orange in color and feels heavy for its size. Pears should be ripe but not too soft.
  • Roast the squash and pears before adding them to the soup: This will caramelize the vegetables and give them a smoky flavor. You can roast the squash and pears on a baking sheet at 425 degrees Fahrenheit for 20-30 minutes, or until they are tender and slightly browned.
  • Use a good quality vegetable broth: This will make a big difference in the flavor of your soup. Look for a vegetable broth that is made with fresh vegetables and herbs.
  • Don't blend the soup until it is completely smooth: A little bit of texture is a good thing in this soup. You can use a blender or an immersion blender to blend the soup, but be sure to leave some small pieces of squash and pears.
  • Serve the soup with a garnish: A dollop of sour cream, a sprinkle of toasted nuts, or a drizzle of olive oil can add a nice finishing touch to your soup.

Conclusion:

Butternut squash and pear soup is a delicious and comforting dish that is perfect for a fall or winter meal. It is easy to make and packed with flavor. With a few simple tips, you can make the perfect butternut squash and pear soup that your family and friends will love.
