Greetings Soup Lovers! 

Celebrate the season with this nourishing plant-based butternut squash, D'Anjou red pear and ginger soup. Its delightful combination of tangy and creamy flavors makes it the perfect autumn dish.

This recipe features a harmonious blend of sweet roasted pears and butternut squash, pureed to a velvety consistency. The soup is beautifully topped with a textural contrast of pistachios and the finishing touch of extra virgin olive oil, resulting in a sensational flavor. It's amazing!

Ingredients (serving size 4):

2 Cups butternut squash 

1 Cup D'anjou red pears 
1 Tbsp. Meyer lemon juice & a few Meyer lemon rinds
1 Tbsp. grated fresh ginger 
1 Cup oat milk
2 Tbs. olive oil
2 Tbsp. chopped pistachios
1/5 Tsp. sea salt

 Instructions: 

1. Cut the butternut squash in half, remove seeds, peel skins and chop into small cubes (alternatively you can use store bought frozen cubed butternut squash and thaw them first before roasting).

2. Cut pears in half, remove core and chop into small cubes 

3. Toss cubed butternut squash and pear with olive oil, sea salt and roast them at 400 preheated oven for 25 minutes, pic.1 

4. Place butternut squash, pears, Meyer lemon juice & rinds and ginger in a food processor, pic. 2 and process until they are pureed, pic. 3

5. Add oath milk, pic. 4 and process again until the mixture is creamy, pic. 5
