Curried Butternut Squash and Pear Soup
Check out this vibrant and beautiful soup that not only warms your heart but also gives you a deliciously spicy kick!

Ingredients:
- 1 medium butternut squash, peeled and cubed
- 2 ripe pears, peeled and chopped
- 1 medium onion, diced
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tbsp fresh ginger, grated
- 1 tbsp curry powder
- 4 cups vegetable broth
- 1 can coconut milk
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- Olive oil for sautéing
- Fresh cilantro for garnish (optional)
Instructions:
- First things first, heat some olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Toss in the diced onion and sauté until it turns translucent, about 5 minutes.
- Next, throw in the minced garlic, grated ginger, and curry powder. Stir it all together for about a minute until those aromatic spices fill your kitchen.
- Now add the cubed butternut squash and chopped pears into the pot. Stir well to coat them with the spices and let them cook for a few minutes.
- Pour in the vegetable broth and bring it to a boil. Once it’s bubbling, reduce the heat and let it simmer for about 20 minutes, or until the butternut squash is fork-tender.
- Once everything is nice and soft, turn off the heat and carefully blend the soup until it’s silky smooth. You can use an immersion blender or a regular blender – just be careful with that hot liquid!
- Return the blended soup to the pot, stir in the coconut milk, and season with salt and pepper to your liking. Give it a gentle stir to combine everything.
- Warm it up again if needed, then serve it up hot, and don’t forget to garnish with fresh cilantro if you like a bit of color and flavor on top.
And there you have it! A hearty bowl of Curried Butternut Squash and Pear Soup to warm you right up. Perfect for a family gathering or just a homey night in. Enjoy, folks!
