Butternut Squash Soup With Ginger & Pear

This is a roasted butternut squash ginger pear soup. A feel good healthy soup that I’ve paired it with some homemade focaccia bread.

Ingredients
⁃ 1 medium squash roasted ( you can purchase frozen cut squash as well )
⁃ 3 pears roasted 
⁃ 1 small onion diced
⁃ 2 cloves garlic minced
⁃ 1 inch fresh ginger grated 
⁃ 2 tbsp olive oil 
⁃ 3-4 cups veg or chicken broth ( suited to your consistency )
⁃ 1 tsp sage powdered
⁃ 1 tsp rhyme 
⁃ 1 tsp salt – adjust to taste
⁃ 1/4 tsp fresh ground pepper 
⁃ 1 tsp paprika 

Method

1. Heat oil in a big pot on med heat
2. Add onions and sauté until translucent, add garlic and Ginger and sauté few minutes 
3. Add all spices and salt and pepper , cook 1-2 minutes ( turn heat down )
4. Add roasted squash and pear , coat all pieces with spices
5. Add broth and let simmer , cover pot and leave it simmering on low for 10 minutes. Turn off heat
6. Once slightly cooled , use immersion hand blender to make smooth soup – taste for salt and broth consistency 
7. Garnish as desired ( I used pumpkin seeds , hemp hearts and paprika). Enjoy!
