1 large onion, diced
3 tablespoons olive oil
1 butternut squash, peeled, seeded and diced
2 large Asian pears, peeled, cored and diced

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



Butternut Pear Soup image

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.
