Squash and Pear Soup

Usually when I develop a recipe idea, I can imagine how it will taste. I had no idea how this would pan out, but it was worth a shot. Squash, zucchini, and pears? Trust me, this one’s a keeper.

Directions

Prepare the Soup

  1. Heat oil for sautéing in a large pot.

  2. Add onions and zucchini and sauté for five minutes. Add the pears and sauté another five minutes. Keep an eye on the pot as you do this, since you want the fruit to caramelize, not burn.

  3. Add the butternut squash and sauté two more minutes. Pour in the stock, then add the sweet potato and spices.

  4. Bring to a boil, then lower the heat and let simmer for 45 minutes to an hour. Let cool. Use an immersion blender to purée the soup.

You'll want to thinly slice pears, dunk them in a bath of lemon juice, spread them on a pan and bake at 194 degrees F for about 13 minutes or until they're golden brown. You can then dunk the pears in a caramelized sugar mixture for a beautiful finish.
