Spiced Butternut Pear Soup image

This recipe hits the spot for me any cold night. It makes a lot, so I pull it out for dinner parties too and it's yet to go over poorly. Feel free to experiment. I go by my mother's philosophy of using what's in your pantry, so throw some different stuff in there if you want!

Time 1h5m

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 16

1 tablespoon butter, or more to taste
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 butternut squash, peeled and cubed
2 potatoes, peeled and cubed
1 onion, diced
1 carrot, peeled and chopped
1 stalk celery, chopped
1 clove garlic, minced
1 quart chicken broth, or more as needed
1 pear - peeled, cored, and sliced
¼ teaspoon ground ginger
⅛ teaspoon cayenne pepper
⅛ teaspoon ground allspice
⅛ teaspoon ground nutmeg
salt and ground black pepper to taste
¼ cup heavy cream

Steps:

  • Heat butter and olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add butternut squash, potatoes, onion, carrot, celery, and garlic; cook and stir until evenly coated and warmed through, about 10 minutes.
  • Pour enough chicken broth into the pot to cover the butternut squash mixture. Cook for 10 minutes. Add pear; simmer until potatoes are soft, about 30 minutes. Season with ginger, cayenne pepper, allspice, nutmeg, salt, and pepper.
  • Fill a blender halfway with soup. Cover and hold lid down with a potholder; pulse a few times before leaving on to blend. Pour into a pot. Repeat with remaining soup.
  • Stir heavy cream into the blended soup. Cook until heated through, 5 to 10 minutes.
