Roasted Butternut Squash & Pear Soup

This soup is the best butternut squash creation I’ve had in a while.

Which is saying a lot given my borderline crazy affinity for this fall vegetable. It’s creamy and comforting with a surprising amount of depth.

Fall flavor in every bite!

The sweetness of roasted squash is perfectly complemented by the pear—but it’s the spices that elevate each bowl to otherworldly levels of fabulousness. So don’t skimp on spices or leave them out, I beg of you. Garnish with toasted pumpkin seeds to ensure a gloriously textured and well-rounded bite.

Be prepared. You’ll never look at squash the same. Ever. again. Want to take this meal to the next level? Serve with grilled goat cheese & fig sandwiches…
