Curried Butternut Squash and Pear Soup

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:

  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. 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.
  5. 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!
  6. 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.
  7. 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!
