Butternut Squash and Pear Soup

Recipe Description

If you haven’t tried a Butternut Squash and Pear Soup, you’re missing out. Think caramelized butternut squash roasted with pears, onions, garlic, and olive oil. Then gently simmered in vegetable stock and blended until creamy and smooth. Gently spiced with fresh grated ginger, this soup is warming, rich, and extremely flavorful. Bonus? It’s healthy and vegan-friendly. A must-try this winter.

Roast the chopped vegetables and pears first. Once they are all roasted up, transfer them to a large pot. Next, add in the stock and simmer for 15 minutes. Remove from the heat and stir in the fresh grated ginger, more salt and black pepper if needed. Finally, purée everything together until silky and smooth. Serve topped with fresh thyme leaves and a sprinkle of toasted sesame seeds.

To make the Butternut Squash and Pear Soup, you will need the following ingredients:
