Number Of Ingredients 7

2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, plus more for serving
1 medium yellow onion, diced large
1 small butternut squash (about 2 pounds), peeled, seeded, and diced large
2 pears, peeled and diced large

Chopped fresh chives, for serving

Steps:

  • In a medium pot, heat oil over medium-high. Add onion and cook until translucent, 6 minutes. Add squash, pears, and 4 cups water; season with salt and pepper. Bring to a boil; reduce to a rapid simmer and cook until squash is soft, 20 to 25 minutes.
