Steps:
- Cut butternut squash into 4 pieces and remove seeds. Pour water into the bottom of a multi-functional electric pressure cooker and place trivet inside. Place squash on trivet, close lid, and set seal valve. Select high pressure according to manufacturer's instructions; set timer for 10 minutes. Allow 10 to 15 minutes for pressure to build.
- Release pressure carefully using the quick-release method according to manufacturer's instructions, about 5 minutes. Unlock and remove the lid. Drain out the water and wipe the bottom of the pot dry. Remove squash skin and discard. Roughly chop any large pieces into smaller 1- to 2-inch chunks. Set aside.
- Select the Saute function and heat olive oil. Saute onion and garlic for 1 to 2 minutes. Add pears, salt, and sage; cook for 1 to 2 minutes more. Turn pressure cooker off. Add the squash and chicken broth. Close lid and seal valve. Select high pressure; set timer for 5 minutes. Allow 10 to 15 minutes for pressure to build.
- Release pressure manually and remove lid. Blend soup until smooth using an immersion blender. Stir in heavy cream.

INSTANT POT BUTTERNUT SQUASH SOUP
Use your Instant Pot--or any other pressure cooker--to whip up this healthy butternut squash soup. Anjou pears add sweetness, while the soup gets creaminess and a wonderful flavor from light coconut milk, and a bright, fresh kick from ginger, cilantro and lime. Finishing the soup with whole-milk yogurt adds a nice richness, but you can skip it to keep the soup vegan. (Allow the soup to cool slightly before stirring in the yogurt so it doesn't curdle.) This soup would be equally delicious chilled.

Steps:
- Select Sauté setting on a 6-quart programmable multicooker (such as an Instant Pot). (Times, instructions and settings may vary according to cooker brand or model.) Select High temperature setting and allow to preheat. Add oil to the cooker; heat for 1 to 2 minutes. Add pears, onion, cilantro, ginger, salt and coriander; cook, stirring occasionally, until the onion just softens, about 5 minutes.
- Add squash, coconut milk and lime zest. Cover the cooker and lock the lid in place. Turn the steam release handle to Sealing position. Select Manual/Pressure Cook setting on High pressure for 20 minutes. (It will take 5 to 15 minutes for the cooker to come up to pressure before cooking begins.)
- Let the pressure release naturally for 10 minutes. Carefully turn the steam release handle to Venting position, and let the steam fully escape (the float valve will drop; this will take 8 to 12 minutes). Turn off the cooker. Remove the cooker insert and let stand for 10 minutes. Remove and discard lime zest. Stir in lime juice.
- Working in 2 batches, carefully transfer the squash mixture to a blender. Secure the lid on the blender and remove the center piece to allow steam to escape. Place a clean towel over the opening. Process until smooth, about 25 seconds per batch. (Use caution when pureeing hot liquids.) Transfer to a large serving bowl; let cool for a minute or two. Swirl in yogurt. Ladle the soup evenly into 6 shallow bowls; garnish with cilantro and sprinkle with peanuts, if desired.

Steps:
- In a 4-quart saucepan melt the butter over medium-high heat, and add and sweat the onions. Add squash and pears and sweat those too a bit. Pour in the stock, enough to submerge solids. Add sprig of rosemary and bring to a simmer and cook until squash is fork tender about 15 to 18 minutes. Remove rosemary. Puree with immersion blender. Add a touch of cream and season, to taste.
EASY BUTTERNUT SQUASH AND PEAR SOUP
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.

Tips:
- For a smoother soup, use an immersion blender or transfer the soup in batches to a blender and blend until smooth.
- If you don't have an immersion blender, you can also use a regular blender, but be careful not to overfill the blender. Blend in batches if necessary.
- If you are using a blender, let the soup cool slightly before blending to avoid splatters.
- You can also add a dollop of cream or yogurt to the soup for a richer flavor.
- Garnish the soup with fresh herbs, such as thyme, sage, or rosemary, for a pop of color and flavor.
- Leftover soup can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days, or in the freezer for up to 3 months.

Butternut squash and pear soup is a delicious and healthy fall soup that is perfect for a quick and easy meal. It is also a great way to use up leftover butternut squash or pears. The soup is creamy, flavorful, and packed with nutrients. This soup is sure to be a hit with your family and friends.
